A longitudinal study on Anopheles mosquito larval abundance in distinct geographical and environmental settings in western Kenya
(2011-04-10)
As the ecology of mosquito larvae can be complex there is need to develop a rational framework for undertaking larval ecological studies. Local environmental characteristics, such as altitude, climate and land use, can ...

Background
Synthetic odour baits present an unexploited potential for sampling, surveillance and control of malaria ...
Improvement of a synthetic lure for Anopheles gambiae using compounds produced by human skin microbiota
(2011-02-08)
Abstract
Background
Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto is considered to be highly anthropophilic and volatiles of human origin provide essential cues during its host-seeking behaviour. A synthetic blend of three human-derived ...
Development of environmental tools for Anopheline larval control
