Blood meal origins and insecticide susceptibility of Anopheles arabiensis from Chano in South-West Ethiopia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-02-22)Background: Anopheles arabiensis, the main malaria vector in Ethiopia, shows both anthropophilic and zoophilic behaviours. Insecticide resistance is increasing, and alternative methods of vector control are needed. The ... -
Comparison of two adult mosquito sampling methods with human landing catches in south-central Ethiopia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01-13)Background: The human landing catch (HLC) is the standard reference method for measuring human exposure to mosquito bites. However, HLC is labour-intensive, exposes collectors to infectious mosquito bites and is subjected ... -
The effect of screening doors and windows on indoor density of Anopheles arabiensis in south-west Ethiopia: a randomized trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-09-12)Background: Screening of houses might have impact on density of indoor host-seeking Anopheles mosquitoes. A randomized trial of screening windows and doors with metal mesh, and closing openings on eves and walls by mud was ... -
Human-biting activities of Anopheles species in south-central Ethiopia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-09-30)Background: Indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the key malaria vector control interventions in Ethiopia. The success of these interventions rely on their efficacy to repel or kill ... -
Malaria incidence and entomological findings in an area targeted for a cluster-randomized controlled trial to prevent malaria in Ethiopia: results from a pilot study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03-08)Background: This study was part of the work to prepare for a cluster-randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of combining indoor residual spraying and long-lasting insecticidal nets on malaria incidence. A pilot ... -
Zoophagic behaviour of anopheline mosquitoes in southwest Ethiopia: opportunity for malaria vector control
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background: Increased understanding of the feeding behaviours of malaria vectors is important to determine the frequency of human-vector contact and to implement effective vector control interventions. Here we assess the ...
