Time series analysis of survival and oviposition cycle duration of <em>Anopheles funestus</em> (Giles) in Mozambique (Publications)
Survival and gonotrophic cycle duration are important determinants of the vectorial capacity of malaria vectors but there are a limited number of approaches to estimate these quantities from field data

Durability of Olyset campaign nets distributed between 2009 and 2011 in eight districts of Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the first line choice for malaria vector control in sub-Saharan Africa, with most countries adopting universal coverage campaigns. However, there
