6. 4. Ecology and control of Anopheles mosquitoes and human malaria in Guinea Bissau, West Africa

   Author : Katinka Pålsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Anopheles; Bed nets; Epidemiology; Malaria control; Natural mosquito repellents; Plasmodium; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; Entomology; entomologi;

   Abstract : This thesis analyses the relationship between risk of exposure to infective Anophelesmosquitoes and different environmental factors, in particular house construction, presence ofdomestic animals and house location, in coastal Guinea Bissau, West Africa. The potentialeffect of permethrin-impregnated bed nets on mosquito abundance in bed rooms, and on thePlasmodium parasite prevalence in children was also analysed. READ MORE

7. 5. Evaluation of the user-provider interface in malaria control programme : The case of Jepara District, Central Java Province, Indonesia
