Spatial repellency of transfluthrin-treated hessian strips against laboratory-reared Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes in a semi-field tunnel cage

Sheila B Ogoma, Hassan Ngonyani, Emmanuel T Simfukwe, Anthony Mseka, Jason Moore, Gerry F Killeen Parasites & Vectors 2012, 5:54 (20 March 2012)

The protective efficacy of transfluthrin-treated hessian strips, made from sisal fibers, in terms of reduced exposure to mosquito bites whilst outdoors, was measured. The treated strip reduced mosquito attack by >90% for 6 months. Image: Measuring the protective efficacy of transfluthrin-treated hessian strip against outdoor biting mosquitoes.

Light traps fail to estimate reliable malaria mosquito biting rates on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea

Hans J Overgaard, Solve Saebo, Michael R Reddy, Vamsi P Reddy, Simon Abaga, Abrahan Matias, Michel A Slotman Malaria Journal 2012, 11:56 (24 February 2012)

Although the fact that an absence of correlation between the number of anophelines collected by human landing and light traps is not a new finding, this analysis of an original data set in the Bioko Island is an important addition to existing knowledge.

Target product profiles for protecting against outdoor malaria transmission

Gerry F Killeen, Sarah J Moore Malaria Journal 2012, 11:17 (11 January 2012)

The authors extend a previously published mathematical model to investigate the combined use of outdoor and indoor malaria vector control tools. These tools consist of a contact toxicant and a spatial repellent.

This study reports on the abundance and host-seeking behavior of culicine species and An. sinensis in a representative region of P. vivax malaria in China. Such information is required for the implementation of the ongoing malaria elimination campaign in China. Image: Pig-baited bednet trap.
