Conditions of malaria transmission in Dakar from 2007 to 2010 Libasse Gadiaga, Vanessa Machault, Frédéric Pagès, Abdoulaye Gaye, Fanny Jarjaval, Lydie Godefroy, Birane Cissé, Jean-Pierre Lacaux, Cheikh Sokhna, Jean-François Trape, Christophe Rogier Malaria Journal 2011, 10:312 (21 October 2011) This study examines the determinants of malaria transmission in Dakar and is important given the emerging problem of malaria in urban environments.

Kija RN Ng'habi, Dickson Mwasheshi, Bart GJ Knols, Heather M Ferguson Malaria Journal 2010, 9:356 (8 December 2010) This study presents proof-of-principle that populations of important African malaria vectors can be established within environmentally realistic, contained semi-field settings.

2La chromosomal inversion enhances thermal tolerance of Anopheles gambiae larvae Kyle AC Rocca, Emilie M Gray, Carlo Costantini, Nora J Besansky Malaria Journal 2009, 8:147 (2 July 2009) The increased thermo-tolerance observed in 2La larvae following heat hardening suggests higher responsiveness of the inverted karyotype. By responding more drastically to the heat shock, 2La larvae are better equipped to resist the potentially lethal temperatures that occur in arid habitats.

Methodology
Heather M Ferguson, Kija R Ng'habi, Thomas Walder, Demetrius Kadungula, Sarah J Moore, Issa Lyimo, Tanya L Russell, Honorathy Urassa, Hassan Mshinda, Gerry F Killeen, Bart GJ Knols Malaria Journal 2008, 7:158 (20 August 2008) Preliminary observations indicate that realistic and repeatable observations of anopheline behaviour are obtainable within the SFS, and that habitat and climatic features representative of field conditions can be simulated within it
