Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are currently the preferred
methods of malaria vector control. In many cases, these methods are used together in the …

Mosquitoes containing gene drive systems are being developed as complementary tools to
prevent transmission of malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases. As with any new tool, …

The most important malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa are Anopheles gambiae, Anopheles
arabiensis, Anopheles funestus, and Anopheles coluzzii. Of these, An. funestus presently …

… FO conducted the experiments and drafted the manuscript. UF and BK supervised the
experimental work and participated in the writing of the final versions of the manuscript. UF also …

Background Disease transmitting mosquitoes locate humans and other blood hosts by
identifying their characteristic odor profiles. Using their olfactory organs, the mosquitoes detect …

Gene drive technology offers the promise for a high-impact, cost-effective, and durable method
to control malaria transmission that would make a significant contribution to elimination. …

Access to adequate housing is a fundamental human right, essential to human security,
nutrition and health, and a core objective of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals …

Insecticide treated nets (ITNs) represent a powerful means for controlling malaria in Africa
because the mosquito vectors feed primarily indoors at night. The proportion of human …

Malaria is transmitted by many Anopheles species whose proportionate contributions vary
across settings. We re-assessed the roles of Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus, …

To accelerate malaria elimination in areas where core interventions such as insecticide-treated
nets (ITNs) are already widely used, it is crucial to consider additional factors associated …
