Exploring the contributions of bed nets, cattle, insecticides and excitorepellency to malaria control: a deterministic model of mosquito host-seeking... (Publications)
Domestic and personal protection measures against malaria exposure either divert host-seeking vectors to other hosts or kill those attempting to feed. Here, we explicitly model mosquito host-seeking processes [...] technology and distribution systems for insecticide-treated nets improve, massive reductions in malaria transmission could be realised
Eradication of<em> Anopheles gambiae</em> from Brazil: lessons for malaria control in Africa? (Publications)
Current malaria-control strategies emphasise domestic protection against adult mosquitoes with insecticides, and improved access to medical services. Malaria prevention by killing adult mosquitoes is generally [...] suppressed malaria for over 20 years around a Zambian copper mine. These affordable approaches were neglected after the advent of dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDT) and global malaria-control policy [...] be re-prioritised for research, development, and implementation as an...
Feeding and survival of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae on plants growing in Kenya (Publications)
The propensity of the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles gambiae Giles (Diptera: Culicidae) to ingest sugars from various plants, and subsequent survival rates, were assessed with laboratory-reared males [...] female An. gambiae, as well as males, and may constitute and important resource for this important malaria vector
Comparison between anopheline mosquitoes (Diptera: culicidae) caught using different methods in a malaria endemic area of Papua New Guinea (Publications)
The mosquito sampling efficiency of CDC (Centers for Disease Control) miniature light traps hung adjacent to mosquito nets, was compared with that of both indoor and outdoor human-bait collections in
