The dominant Anopheles vectors of human malaria in Africa, Europe and the Middle East: occurrence data, distribution maps and bionomic précis

Marianne E Sinka, Michael J Bangs, Sylvie Manguin, Maureen Coetzee, Charles M Mbogo, Janet Hemingway, Anand P Patil, Will H Temperley, Peter W Gething, Caroline W Kabaria, Robi M Okara, Thomas Van Boeckel, H Charles J Godfray, Ralph E Harbach, Simon I Hay Parasites & Vectors 2010, 3:117 (3 December 2010)

To help target malaria control efforts in Africa and prevent its re-emergence in Europe, we present contemporary distribution maps and relevant bionomic information for the seven dominant vector species (DVS) of Africa and the six DVS found across Europe and the Middle East. Image: Occurrence data and predicted distribution of An. gambiae, one of the DVS of Africa.

Relevant microclimate for determining the development rate of malaria mosquitoes and possible implications of climate change

Krijn P Paaijmans, Susan S Imbahale, Matthew B Thomas, Willem Takken Malaria Journal 2010, 9:196 (9 July 2010)

The relationship between mosquito development and temperature is one of the keys to understanding the current and future dynamics and distribution of vector-borne diseases such as malaria. In this study, both air and water temperatures were fed into a temperature-dependent development model and their impact on predicted vector abundance was assessed.
