Background Current standard interventions are not universally sufficient for malaria
elimination. The effects of community-based house improvement (HI) and larval source …

Background Improved surveillance techniques are required to accelerate efforts against
major arthropod-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, filariasis, Zika and yellow-fever …

Background: Monitoring malaria transmission is a critical component of efforts to achieve
targets for elimination and eradication. Two commonly monitored metrics of transmission …

In efforts to intensify malaria control through vector control and hasten the progress towards
elimination, the impact of control interventions needs to be evaluated. This requires …

Malaria hotspots have been the focus of public health managers for several years due to the
potential elimination gains that can be obtained from targeting them. The identification of …

Irrigation schemes provide an ideal habitat for Anopheles mosquitoes particularly during the
dry season. Reliable estimates of outdoor host-seeking behaviour are needed to assess the …

Background Vector surveillance is essential in determining the geographical distribution of
mosquito vectors and understanding the dynamics of malaria transmission. With the …

Introduction Increasing the knowledgebase of anopheline larval ecology could enable
targeted deployment of malaria control efforts and consequently reduce costs of …

Background While malaria transmission in Africa still happens primarily inside houses, there
is a substantial proportion of Anopheles mosquitoes that bite or rest outdoors. This situation …

Background One of the promising current approaches to curb malaria lies in genetic vector
control, the implementation of which will require an improved understanding of the …
