Acceptability and effectiveness of a monofilament, polyethylene insecticide-treated wall lining for malaria control after six months in dwellings in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province, South Africa

Kruger, Taneshka; Sibanda, Mthokozisi Mayibongwe; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Bornman, Maria S. (Riana); De Jager, Christiaan (SpringerOpen Journal, 2015-12)

BACKGROUND : South Africa uses indoor residual spraying (IRS) for vector control in its malaria control programme (MCP). Insecticide-treated wall linings (ITWLs) offer possible advantages over IRS and long-lasting, ...
Evaluating the potential of the sterile insect technique for malaria control : relative fitness and mating compatibility between laboratory colonized and a wild population of Anopheles arabiensis from the Kruger National Park, South Africa

Munhenga, Givemore; Brooke, Basil D.; Chirwa, Tobias F.; Hunt, Richard H.; Coetzee, Maureen; Govender, Dhanashree (Danny); Koekemoer, Lizette L. (BioMed Central, 2011)

BACKGROUND: The successful suppression of a target insect population using the sterile insect technique (SIT) partly depends on the premise that the laboratory insects used for mass rearing are genetically compatible with ...
Field effectiveness of microbial larvicides on mosquito larvae in malaria areas of Botswana and Zimbabwe

Mpofu, Mulamuli; Becker, Piet J.; Mudambo, Kaka; De Jager, Christiaan (BioMed Central, 2016-12-06)

BACKGROUND : The successful control of malaria vectors requires the control of both the larval and adult stages. The adult control methods through indoor residual spraying (IRS) and use of long-lasting insecticidal nets ...
Field study site selection, species abundance and monthly distribution of anopheline mosquitoes in the northern Kruger National Park, South Africa

Munhenga, Givemore; Brooke, Basil D.; Spillings, Belinda; Essop, Leyya; Hunt, Richard H.; Midzi, Stephen; Govender, Dhanashree (Danny); Braack, L.E.O.; Koekemoer, Lizette L. (BioMed Central, 2014-01-24)

BACKGROUND: Knowledge of the ecology and behaviour of a target species is a prerequisite for the successful development of any vector control strategy. Before the implementation of any strategy it is essential to ...
