Sibanda, Mthokozisi Mayibongwe; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Braack, L.E.O.; Leuteritz, Andreas; Brünig, Harald; Tran, Nguyen Hoai An; Wieczorek, Florian; Trümper, Wolfgang (Elsevier, 2018-10)Core-sheath structured fibres were developed for application as part of an alternative malaria vector control intervention aimed at reducing outdoor malaria transmission. The fibres were prepared by melt spinning of high ...

Braack, L.E.O.; Hunt, Richard H.; Koekemoer, Lizette L.; Gericke, Anton; Munhenga, Givemore; Haddow, Andrew D.; Becker, Piet J.; Okia, Michael; Kimera, Isaac; Coetzee, Maureen (BioMed Central, 2015-02)BACKGROUND : Malaria control in Africa relies heavily on indoor vector management, primarily indoor residual spraying and insecticide treated bed nets. Little is known about outdoor biting behaviour or even the dynamics ...

Mixao, Verónica; Barriga, Daniel Bravo; Parreira, Ricardo; Novo, Maria Teresa; Sousa, Carla Alexandra; Frontera, Eva; Venter, Marietjie; Braack, L.E.O.; Almeida, Antonio Paulo Gouveia (BioMed Central, 2016-11-25)BACKGROUND : Culex univittatus and Culex perexiguus mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are competent arbovirus vectors, but with unclear morphological differentiation. In Europe, and in the Iberian Peninsula in particular, ...

Schmidt, Hanno; Hanemaaijer, Mark J.; Cornel, Anthony J.; Lanzaro, Gregory C.; Braack, L.E.O.; Lee, Yoosook (Taylor and Francis Open, 2018-10-03)The Aedes aegypti mitogenome (Mt) sequences of field isolates from California and South Africa revealed a deletion between position 14,522 and 14,659 of the Mt contig of the AaegL5 reference genome. The length of the ...

Mouatcho, Joel Claude; Cornel, Anthony J.; Dahan‑Moss, Yael; Koekemoer, Lizette L.; Coetzee, Maureen; Braack, L.E.O. (BioMed Central, 2018-05-15)BACKGROUND : The Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) and Anopheles funestus s.l. species complexes contain the most important malaria vectors in Africa. Within the An. funestus group of at least 11 African species, the ...

Mapossa, António Benjamim; Sibanda, Mthokozisi Mayibongwe; Sitoe, Alcides Everildo José; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Braack, L.E.O.; Ndonyane, Cyril; Mouatcho, Joel Claude; Smart, Jansie; Muaimbo, Herminio; Androsch, Rene; Loots, Mattheus Theodor (Elsevier, 2019-03)The main vectors of malaria in Africa, i.e. An. arabiensis, An. gambiae s.s. and An. funestus, are attracted by human foot odour and they tend to bite victims in the ankle area. Hence, affordable mosquito-repellent ...

Johnson, Todd; Braack, L.E.O.; Guarido, Milehna M.; Venter, Marietjie; Almeida, Antonio Paulo Gouveia (Wiley, 2020-06)Most data on species associations and vector potential of mosquitoes in relation to arboviral infections in South Africa date back from the 1940s to late 1990s. Contextual information crucial for disease risk management ...

Braack, L.E.O.; De Almeida, Antonio Paulo Gouveia; Cornel, Anthony J.; Swanepoel, Robert; De Jager, Christiaan (BioMed Central, 2018-01-09)Key aspects of 36 mosquito-borne arboviruses indigenous to Africa are summarized, including lesser or poorly-known viruses which, like Zika, may have the potential to escape current sylvatic cycling to achieve greater ...
