Adult vector control, mosquito ecology and malaria transmission
BACKGROUND Standard advice regarding vector control is to prefer interventions that reduce the lifespan of adult mosquitoes. The basis for this advice is a decades-old sensitivity analysis of 'vectorial capacity', a concept relevant for most malaria transmission models and based solely on adult mosquito population dynamics. Recent advances in micro-simulation models offer an opportunity to expa...
متن کاملTargeting male mosquito swarms to control malaria vector density
Malaria control programs are being jeopardized by the spread of insecticide resistance in mosquito vector populations. It has been estimated that the spread of resistance could lead to an additional 120000 deaths per year, and interfere with the prospects for sustained control or the feasibility of achieving malaria elimination. Another complication for the development of resistance management ...
متن کاملMosquito behavior and vector control.
Effective indoor residual spraying against malaria vectors depends on whether mosquitoes rest indoors (i.e., endophilic behavior). This varies among species and is affected by insecticidal irritancy. Exophilic behavior has evolved in certain populations exposed to prolonged spraying programs. Optimum effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets presumably depends on vectors biting at hours when mo...
متن کاملMosquito Detection For Improved Malaria Vector Modelling
The HumBug project is targeted at eliminating mosquito-borne diseases that have a major impact on human health, income and mortality [1]. The ultimate aim is to deploy a sensor network consisting of portable devices, such as mobile phones, wristbands or other monitoring devices. The devices may communicate in either a centralised or decentralised fashion to help target areas in need of aid opti...
متن کاملTransmission Blocking Immunity in the Malaria Non-Vector Mosquito Anopheles quadriannulatus Species A
Despite being phylogenetically very close to Anopheles gambiae, the major mosquito vector of human malaria in Africa, Anopheles quadriannulatus is thought to be a non-vector. Understanding the difference between vector and non-vector mosquitoes can facilitate development of novel malaria control strategies. We demonstrate that An. quadriannulatus is largely resistant to infections by the human ...
