Simplified Models of Vector Control Impact upon Malaria Transmission by Zoophagic Mosquitoes
BACKGROUND High coverage of personal protection measures that kill mosquitoes dramatically reduce malaria transmission where vector populations depend upon human blood. However, most primary malaria vectors outside of sub-Saharan Africa can be classified as "very zoophagic," meaning they feed occasionally (<10% of blood meals) upon humans, so personal protection interventions have negligible im...
متن کاملPyrethroid resistance in African anopheline mosquitoes: what are the implications for malaria control?
The use of pyrethroid insecticides in malaria vector control has increased dramatically in the past decade through the scale up of insecticide treated net distribution programmes and indoor residual spraying campaigns. Inevitably, the major malaria vectors have developed resistance to these insecticides and the resistance alleles are spreading at an exceptionally rapid rate throughout Africa. A...
متن کاملSpatially Explicit Analyses of Anopheline Mosquitoes Indoor Resting Density: Implications for Malaria Control
BACKGROUND The question of sampling and spatial aggregation of malaria vectors is central to vector control efforts and estimates of transmission. Spatial patterns of anopheline populations are complex because mosquitoes' habitats and behaviors are strongly heterogeneous. Analyses of spatially referenced counts provide a powerful approach to delineate complex distribution patterns, and contribu...
متن کاملInterrupting malaria transmission by genetic manipulation of anopheline mosquitoes.
Malaria ranks among the deadliest infectious diseases that kills more than one million persons every year. The mosquito is an obligatory vector for malaria transmission. In the mosquito, Plasmodium undergoes a complex series of developmental events that includes transformation into several distinct morphological forms and the crossing of two different epithelia--midgut and salivary gland. Circu...
متن کاملMalaria Situation and Anopheline Mosquitoes in Qom Province, Central Iran
BACKGROUND The aims of this study was to analysis the current situation of malaria and to find the distribution of anopheline mosquitoes, as probable vectors of the disease, in Qom Province, central Iran. METHODS This study was carried out in two parts. First stage was data collection about malaria cases using recorded documents of patients in the Province health center, during 2001-2008. The...
