   differences between districts, regions or countries. However, local heterogeneities in residual malaria transmission imply the need for finer-scale data. This study reports small-scale variations of i [...] villages across two seasons in Tanzania, where insecticidal bed nets are extensively used, but malaria transmission persists.

   Informing new or improved vector control tools for reducing the malaria burden in Tanzania: a qualitative exploration of perceptions of mosquitoes and methods for their control among the residents of Dar es Salaam

   Relevance:

   CONCLUSIONS: Outdoor transmission is widely accepted as an obstacle to malaria elimination. Larval source management, targeting both malaria vectors and nuisance-biting mosquitoes, is the preferred method for [...] BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of malaria prevention with long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying is limited by emerging insecticide resistance, evasive mosquito behaviours that include [...] to widespread environmental deterioration and lack of effective mosquito...

   INTRODUCTION: Malaria prevention can be complex due to the individual characteristics of the traveller, travel destination, duration of stay and type of travel. Our aim in this study was to document malaria che [...] visiting malaria-endemic areas of sub-Saharan Africa.

We estimated economic gradients [...] in coverage of malaria interventions and their distribution by wealth within and across countries.
