Allomonal effect of breath contributes to differential attractiveness of humans to the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae
Mukabana, WR; Takken, W; Killeen, GF; Knols, BGJ (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 ... -
Comparative performance of the Mbita trap, CDC light trap and the human landing catch in the sampling of Anopheles arabiensis, An. funestusand culicine species in a rice irrigation in western Kenya
Mathenge, EM; Misiani, GO; Oulo, DO; Irungu, LW; Ndegwa, PN.; Smith, TA; Killeen, GF; Knols, BGJ (2005-01-25)Mosquitoes sampling is an important component in malaria control. However, most of the methods used have several shortcomings and hence there is a need to develop and calibrate new methods. The Mbita trap for capturing ... -
Ecologists can enable communities to implement malaria vector control in Africa
Mukabana, WR; Kannady, K; Kiama, GM; Ijumba, JN; Mathenge, EM; Kiche, I; Nkwengulila,G; Mboera, L; Mtasiwa, D; Yamagata, Y; van Schayk, I; Knols, BGJ; Lindsay, SW; de Castro, MC; Mshinda, H; Tanner, M; Fillinger, U; Killeen, GF (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 ... -
Host-specific cues cause differential attractiveness of Kenyan men to the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae
Mukabana, WR; Takken, W; Coe, R; Knols, BGJ (2002-12-06)Abstract Background Many studies have suggested that variability in the attractiveness of humans to host-seeking mosquitoes ... -
MalariaSphere: A greenhouse-enclosed simulation of a natural Anopheles gambiae(Diptera: Culicidae) ecosystem in western Kenya
Knols, BGJ; Njiru, BN; Mathenge, EM; Mukabana, WR; Beier, JC; Killeen, GF (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 ... -
Trapping of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiaewith odour-baited MM-X traps in semi-field conditions in western Kenya
Njiru, BN; Mukabana, WR; Takken, Willem; Knols, BGJ (2006-05-15)Abstract Background The successful development of odour-baited trapping systems for mosquitoes depends on the identification ...
