The African mosquito species Anopheles gambiae sensu lato s.l. and Anopheles funestus rank among the world's most efficient vectors of human malaria. Their unique bionomics, particularly their… (More)

Odor Coding in the Maxillary Palp of the Malaria Vector Mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Tan Lu, Yu Tong Qiu, +8 authors Laurence J. Zwiebel
Current Biology

Neoehrlichia mikurensis s an emerging and vector-borne zoonosis: The first human disease cases were reported in 2010. Limited information is available about the prevalence and distribution of… (More)

Impact of promoting longer-lasting insecticide treatment of bed nets upon malaria transmission in a rural Tanzanian setting with pre-existing high coverage of untreated nets

Tanya L. Russell, Dickson Lwetoijera, +10 authors Gerry F Killeen
Malaria Journal
2009

The communities of Namawala and Idete villages in southern Tanzania experienced extremely high malaria transmission in the 1990s. By 2001-03, following high usage rates (75% of all age groups) of… (More)

Development and Field Evaluation of a Synthetic Mosquito Lure That Is More Attractive than Humans

Fredros O Okumu, Gerry F Killeen, +10 authors Sarah J Moore
PloS one

BACKGROUND Disease transmitting mosquitoes locate humans and other blood hosts by identifying their characteristic odor profiles. Using their olfactory organs, the mosquitoes detect compounds present… (More)

Host preferences of blood-feeding mosquitoes.

Willem Takken, Niels O Verhulst
Annual review of entomology
2013

Mosquitoes use plant sugars and vertebrate blood as nutritional resources. When searching for blood hosts, some mosquitoes express preferential behavior for selected species. Here, we review the… (More)

An entomopathogenic fungus for control of adult African malaria mosquitoes.

E J Scholte, Kija RN Ng'habi, +5 authors Bart G. J. Knols
Science
2005

Biological control of malaria mosquitoes in Africa has rarely been used in vector control programs. Recent developments in this field show that certain fungi are virulent to adult Anopheles… (More)

E J Scholte, Basilio N. Njiru, Renate C. Smallegange, Willem Takken, Bart G. J. Knols
Malaria Journal
2003

Current intra-domiciliary vector control depends on the application of residual insecticides and/or repellents. Although biological control agents have been developed against aquatic mosquito stages,… (More)
