Mathematical models of malaria - a review

Sandip Mandal, Ram Sarkar, Somdatta Sinha Malaria Journal 2011, 10:202 (21 July 2011)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central | Editor’s summary

A timely review article that aims to assess the current state of the malaria modelling field, predominantly focusing on mathematical (rather than statistical) models.

Effect of larval crowding on mating competitiveness of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes

Kija R Ng'habi, Bernadette John, Gamba Nkwengulila, Bart GJ Knols, Gerry F Killeen, Heather M Ferguson Malaria Journal 2005, 4:49 (30 September 2005)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central | Editor’s summary

The success of the release of sterile or transgenic Anopheles for malaria control depends on their mating competitiveness within wild populations. The discovery that males from un-crowded larval rearing conditions mated before males reared under more crowded conditions, has important implications in this context.

Host genotype by parasite genotype interactions underlying the resistance of anopheline mosquitoes to Plasmodium falciparum

Louis Lambrechts, Jean Halbert, Patrick Durand, Louis C Gouagna, Jacob C Koella Malaria Journal 2005, 4:3 (11 January 2005)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central | Editor’s summary

Transmission of malaria is influenced both by the vector competence of the mosquito and the genotype of the parasite. When envisaging the release of GM-mosquitoes, what counts is not so much the release of refractory females that are resistant to all wild parasites, as the release of males that would out-compete the wild-type in mating and give rise to F1 females that are resistant to all wild parasites.
