Blood meal origins and insecticide susceptibility of Anopheles arabiensis from Chano in South-West Ethiopia
Ulesido, Fekadu Massebo; Balkew, Meshesha; Gebre-Michael, Teshome; Lindtjørn, Bernt (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 ... -
A dynamic model of some malaria-transmitting anopheline mosquitoes of the Afrotropical region. II. Validation of species distribution and seasonal variations
Lunde, Torleif Markussen; Balkew, Meshesha; Korecha, Diriba; Gebre-Michael, Teshome; Ulesido, Fekadu Massebo; Sorteberg, Asgeir; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-02-25)Background: The first part of this study aimed to develop a model for Anopheles gambiae s.l. with separate parametrization schemes for Anopheles gambiae s.s. and Anopheles arabiensis. The characterizations were constructed ... -
The effect of screening doors and windows on indoor density of Anopheles arabiensis in south-west Ethiopia: a randomized trial
Ulesido, Fekadu Massebo; Lindtjørn, Bernt (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 ... -
Entomologic Inoculation Rates of Anopheles arabiensis in Southwestern Ethiopia
Ulesido, Fekadu Massebo; Balkew, Meshesha; Gebre-Michael, Teshome; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)We collected anophelines every second week for one year from randomly selected houses in southwestern Ethiopia by using Centers for Disease Control (CDC) light traps, pyrethrum spray catches, and artificial pit shelter ... -
Malaria vectors in southern Ethiopia. Some challenges and opportunities for vector control
Ulesido, Fekadu Massebo (Doctoral thesis, 2017-01-27)Background: Malaria is a public health problem in Ethiopia, where more than 60% of the population lives in risky areas. Since 2005, malaria-related sicknesses and deaths have substantially decreased in the country, mainly ... -
Zoophagic behaviour of anopheline mosquitoes in southwest Ethiopia: opportunity for malaria vector control
Ulesido, Fekadu Massebo; Balkew, Meshesha; Gebre-Michael, Teshome; Lindtjørn, Bernt (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 ...
