This study can help to reduce the malaria vector population through environmental management related to the mosquito larval cycle in different land-use settings and change by minimizing the transmission by the targeted malaria control program.Payus, C. M....
We compared the human–vector interactions and estimated the transmission risk indices in two districts of northern Ghana with different IRS and ITN histories, by simultaneously monitoring hourly vector and human behavior indoors and outdoors. Findings from human–vector behavior studies can be used to...
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease that does not spread from person to person (except inpregnancyas noted below) but spreads in particular circumstances without a mosquito. This rarely occurs and is usually found in a transmission from a pregnant woman to an unborn child (congenital malaria), ...
After mosquitoes had been linked to malaria transmission via the sporozoite stage in the mosquito salivary glands, a gap remained in the cycle of events between sporozoite inoculation and RBC infection. In 1903, the renowned German protozoologist Fritz Schaudinn appeared to have solved the problem ...
“niche theory”, the elimination ofP. falciparumin the lower age groups can be assumed to allow non-falciparum species, such asP. malariae, to become more important asP. falciparumis eliminated. In general, high transmission areas constitute a significant infectious reservoir of malaria parasites ...
Community surveys showed the prevalence of malaria parasitemia to be about 50% among children less than 10 years of age (symptomatic/asymptomatic) and malaria transmission is perennial, with entomological inoculation rate of 269 infective bites per person per year [10]. Mean monthly temperatures ...
Hemozoin crystal size was measured in DIC images using ImageJ. Transmission electron microscopy Fixation 1 mL of P. falciparum 3D7 culture was pelleted by centrifugation (1500g, 3 min, RT) and resuspended in freshly prepared PBS con- taining...

The gonotrophic cycle and biting rate are defined in Eq. (26). The integrations are repeated with different combinations of temperature and relative humidity. This is a simple representation of gametocyte transmission to mosquitoes and is an idealized approach for exploring the proportion of mosquit...
malaria transmission as in much of Central and East Africa25. In these settings, the ACT dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) has emerged as an excellent candidate for use as IPT in children26, including as perennial malaria chemoprevention in areas with year-round malaria transmission27. IPT during...
