Is the current decline in malaria burden in sub-Saharan Africa due to a decrease in vector population?

Short report
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.

Research
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.

Impact of insecticide-treated bed nets on malaria transmission indices on the south coast of Kenya Francis M Mutuku, Charles H King, Peter Mungai, Charles Mbogo, Joseph Mwangangi, Eric M Muchiri, Edward D Walker, Uriel Kitron Malaria Journal 2011, 10:356 (13 December 2011) Entomological indices indicate a much reduced human biting rate and a diminishing role of An. gambiae s.s. in malaria transmission following high bed net coverage. While increasing bed net coverage beyond the current levels may not significantly reduce the transmission potential of An. arabiensis, it is anticipated that increasing or at least sustaining high bed net coverage will result in a diminished role for An. funestus in malaria transmission.
