| changes in vector species composition and current vector biology and behaviour will favour malaria elimination in santa isabel province, solomon islands. | in 2009, santa isabel province in the solomon islands embarked on a malaria elimination programme. however, very little is known in the province about the anopheline fauna, which species are vectors, their bionomics and how they may respond to intensified intervention measures. the purpose of this study was to provide baseline data on the malaria vectors and to ascertain the possibility of successfully eliminating malaria using the existing conventional vector control measures, such as indoor re ... | 2011 | 21961990 |
| entomological monitoring and evaluation: diverse transmission settings of icemr projects will require local and regional malaria elimination strategies. | the unprecedented global efforts for malaria elimination in the past decade have resulted in altered vectorial systems, vector behaviors, and bionomics. these changes combined with increasingly evident heterogeneities in malaria transmission require innovative vector control strategies in addition to the established practices of long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying. integrated vector management will require focal and tailored vector control to achieve malaria elimination. ... | 2015 | 26259942 |
| influence of environmental factors on the abundance of anopheles farauti larvae in large brackish water streams in northern guadalcanal, solomon islands. | the main vector of malaria in solomon islands is anopheles farauti, which has a mainly coastal distribution. in northern guadalcanal, solomon islands, high densities of an. farauti are supported by large brackish streams, which in the dry season are dammed by localized sand migration. the factors controlling the high larval productivity of these breeding sites have not been identified. accordingly the influence of environmental factors on the presence and density of an. farauti larvae was assess ... | 2011 | 21910907 |
| larval habitats of the anopheles farauti and anopheles lungae complexes in the solomon islands. | there is an urgent need for vector control tools to supplement long-lasting insecticidal nets (llins) and indoor residual spraying; particularly in the solomon islands where the primary vector, anopheles farauti, is highly anthropophagic and feeds mainly outdoors and early in the evening. currently, the only supplementary tool recommended by the world health organization is larval source management (lsm). the feasibility and potential effectiveness of lsm requires information on the distribution ... | 2016 | 26980326 |
| malaria vectors on buka and bougainville islands, papua new guinea. | anophelines were sampled from 82 locations on buka and bougainville islands in papua new guinea by larval collections, carbon dioxide-baited mosquito traps, and human biting catches. anopheles farauti s.s. was collected in larval surveys but infrequently in mosquito traps on both islands; on buka island this species was readily collected in human biting catches. anopheles farauti 2 was commonly collected in larval surveys on both islands; however, it was not collected in either mosquito traps or ... | 2002 | 12083350 |
