Patterns of anopheline feeding/resting behaviour and Plasmodium infections in North Cameroon, 2011–2014: implications for malaria control
Effective malaria control relies on evidence-based interventions. Anopheline behaviour and Plasmodium infections were investigated in North Cameroon, following long-lasting insecticidal …

High insecticide resistance intensity of Anopheles gambiae (s.l.) and low efficacy of pyrethroid LLINs in Accra, Ghana
Insecticide resistance of Anopheles gambiae ( s.l. ) against public health insecticides is increasingly reported in Ghana and need to …
Article scientifique
Assessment of treatment impact on lymphatic filariasis in 13 districts of Benin: progress toward elimination in nine districts despite persistence of transmission in some areas
BACKGROUND: Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is still a public health burden in many developing countries. In Benin, a West African country, …
Article scientifique
Effect of larval density and substrate quality on the wing geometry of Stomoxys calcitrans L. (Diptera: Muscidae)
BACKGROUND: In insects, oviposition decisions may lead to egg deposition in substrates with different larval density and nutritional levels. Individuals …
Article scientifique
Efficacy of the mermithid nematode, Romanomermis iyengari, for the biocontrol of Anopheles gambiae, the major malaria vector in sub-Saharan Africa
The intensive use of chemical insecticides against mosquitoes has led to the development of widespread insecticide resistance. Control of Anopheles …
