Large-scale use of mosquito larval source management for malaria control in Africa: a cost analysis

Eve Worrall, Ulrike Fillinger Malaria Journal 2011, 10:338 (8 November 2011)

Despite its enormous historical successes, mosquito larval source management (LSM) remains a largely forgotten and often dismissed intervention for malaria control in Africa, in large part because of the perceived cost of such interventions. The paper shows that costs for LSM compare favourably with costs for IRS and LLINs, especially in areas with moderate and focal malaria transmission where mosquito larval habitats are accessible and well defined.

Achieving high coverage of larval-stage mosquito surveillance: challenges for a community-based mosquito control programme in urban Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

This paper relates a pilot study on mosquito control using larvicide in the town of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Long-term anopheline control using larvicides is an amazing logistic achievement, which could be successfully emulated in other urban areas

Comparative evaluation of the Ifakara tent trap-B, the standardized resting boxes and the human landing catch for sampling malaria vectors and other mosquitoes in urban Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Maggy Sikulu, Nicodem J Govella, Sheila B Ogoma, John Mpangile, Said H Kambi, Khadija Kannady, Prosper C Chaki, Wolfgang R Mukabana, Gerry F Killeen Malaria Journal 2009, 8:197 (12 August 2009)

The paper addresses the major need of determining the best sampling methods for malaria vector mosquitoes in the urban environment, where densities of major vector species are usually low. The paper is well-designed and provides a useful comparison of the effectiveness of the different traps.
