| 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 |
| 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 |
