A malaria transmission-directed model of mosquito life cycle and ecology

Philip A Eckhoff Malaria Journal 2011, 10:303 (17 October 2011)

This paper presents a new mathematical model describing the mosquito life-cycle and ecology. The model is fairly detailed and comprehensive, and similar in its intent and scope to the Depinay model.

Habitat stability and occurrences of malaria vector larvae in western Kenya highlands

Yousif E Himeidan, Guofa Zhou, Laith Yakob, Yaw Afrane, Stephen Munga, Harrysone Atieli, El-Amin El-Rayah, Andrew K Githeko, Guiyun Yan Malaria Journal 2009, 8:234 (21 October 2009)

This paper describes the frequency of occurence of larval habitats of An. gambiae and An. funestus in relation to “hilltops” versus stream areas.

A mechanistic approach for accurate simulation of village scale malaria transmission

Arne Bomblies, Jean-Bernard Duchemin, Elfatih AB Eltahir Malaria Journal 2009, 8:223 (2 October 2009)

This paper sets out to investigate whether a detailed description of the hydrology around villages in the Sahel can improve models of malaria transmission based solely on climatological parameters. This is a pilot study and based only on two villages.

Modelling malaria incidence with environmental dependency in a locality of Sudanese savannah area, Mali

Jean Gaudart, Ousmane Touré, Nadine Dessay, A lassane Dicko, Stéphane Ranque, Loic Forest, Jacques Demongeot, Ogobara K Doumbo Malaria Journal 2009, 8:61 (10 April 2009)

This paper reports an ambitious attempt to produce a spatially structured model for malaria transmission in Mali, based on remote sensed vegetation indices (NDVI), together with an SIRS type transmission model, calibrated using data from the village of Bancoumana.
