Multi-country evaluation of the durability of pyrethroid plus piperonyl-butoxide insecticide-treated nets: study protocol (Publications)
distributions of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) have contributed to large reductions in the malaria burden. However, this success is in jeopardy due in part to the increasing pyrethroid-resistant mosquito [...] containing pyrethroid and piperonyl-butoxide (PBO) have shown a greater reduction in the incidence of malaria than pyrethroid LLINs in areas with pyrethroid-resistant mosquitoes. However, the durability (attrition
Larval and adult environmental temperatures influence the adult reproductive traits of <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> s.s. (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Anopheles mosquito life-history parameters and population dynamics strongly influence malaria transmission, and environmental factors, particularly temperature, strongly affect these parameters [...] are necessary to parameterise more reliably models predicting how global warming may influence malaria transmission
Peri-domestic vector control interventions using attractive targeted sugar baits and push-pull strategies (Publications)
Great challenges to sustained malaria and arbovirus control remain, including transmission by vectors that occur outdoors or outside of sleeping hours, the enormous scale of larval breeding in urban centres [...] finding could potentially be due to the size of these studies, because community-level protection from malaria using removal trapping has been demonstrated.
