Hugo Bugoro, Jeffery Hii, Tanya L Russell, Robert D Cooper, Benny KK Chan, Charles Iro'ofa, Charles Butafa, Allen Apairamo, Albino Bobogare, Cheng-Chen Chen Malaria Journal 2011, 10:262 (13 September 2011) This study has demonstrated that the presence and abundance Anopheles farauti larvae are influenced by environmental factors within the large streams. Understanding these parameters will allow for targeted cost effective implementation of source reduction and larviciding to support the frontline malaria control measures, including IRS and LLIN.

Development of environmental tools for anopheline larval control Susan S Imbahale, Collins K Mweresa, Willem Takken, Wolfgang R Mukabana Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:130 (6 July 2011) An integrated approach for mosquito vector control is the way forward for malaria and other water borne diseases. Communities need cheap and easily accessible strategies that they can adopt. Image: Anopheline mosquito breeding habitat manipulation through shading by local plants.

Lamin BS Jarju, Ulrike Fillinger, Clare Green, Vasilis Louca, Silas Majambere, Steven W Lindsay Malaria Journal 2009, 8:170 (27 July 2009) This study provides important new information on vector breeding in relation to traditional rice farming in West Africa. Ecological data like these are urgently needed.

Identifying the most productive breeding sites for malaria mosquitoes in The Gambia Ulrike Fillinger, Heleen Sombroek, Silas Majambere, Emiel van Loon, Willem Takken, Steven W Lindsay Malaria Journal 2009, 8:62 (10 April 2009) A paper on an important aspect of malaria vector ecology, with relevance to control. The results indicate that anti-larval interventions in this area of The Gambia cannot be targeted in space or time during the rainy season.

Methodology
Ulrike Fillinger, Khadija Kannady, George William, Michael J Vanek, Stefan Dongus, Dickson Nyika, Yvonne Geissbühler, Prosper P Chaki, Nico J Govella, Evan M Mathenge, Burton H Singer, Hassan Mshinda, Steven W Lindsay, Marcel Tanner, Deo Mtasiwa, Marcia C de Castro, Gerry F Killeen Malaria Journal 2008, 7:20 (25 January 2008) A programme which delegates responsibility for routine mosquito control and surveillance to modestly-paid community members. This pilot study addresses some of the important issues of larviciding in an urban environment.
