Allomonal effect of breath contributes to differential attractiveness of humans to the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae
(2004-01-29)
Removal of exhaled air from total body emanations or artificially standardising carbon dioxide (CO2) outputs has previously been shown to eliminate differential attractiveness of humans to certain blackfly (Simuliidae) and ...
Ecologists can enable communities to implement malaria vector control in Africa
(2006-02-03)
Integrated vector management (IVM) for malaria control requires ecological skills that are very scarce and rarely applied in Africa today. Partnerships between communities and academic ecologists can address this capacity ...
MalariaSphere: A greenhouse-enclosed simulation of a natural Anopheles gambiae(Diptera: Culicidae) ecosystem in western Kenya
(2002-12-18)
The development and implementation of innovative vector control strategies for malaria control in Africa requires in-depth ecological studies in contained semi-field environments. This particularly applies to the development ...
Host-specific cues cause differential attractiveness of Kenyan men to the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae
(2002-12-06)
Abstract
Background
Many studies have suggested that variability in the attractiveness of humans to host-seeking mosquitoes ...
Trapping of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiaewith odour-baited MM-X traps in semi-field conditions in western Kenya
(2006-05-15)
Abstract
Background
The successful development of odour-baited trapping systems for mosquitoes depends on the identification ...
