Abundance and dynamics of anopheline larvae in a highland malarious area of south-central Ethiopia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-06-13)Background: Malaria is a public health problem in Ethiopia, and increasingly so in highland areas, possibly because of global warming. This study describes the distribution, breeding habitat and monthly dynamics of anopheline ... -
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 ... -
How malaria models relate temperature to malaria transmission
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01-18)Background: It is well known that temperature has a major influence on the transmission of malaria parasites to their hosts. However, mathematical models do not always agree about the way in which temperature affects malaria ... -
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 ...
