Screening mosquito house entry points as a potential method for integrated control of endophagic filariasis, arbovirus and malaria vectors
(2010)
BACKGROUND:
Partial mosquito-proofing of houses with screens and ceilings has the potential to reduce indoor densities of malaria mosquitoes. We wish to measure whether it will also reduce indoor densities of vectors ...
