Journal ArticleDOI
Spatiotemporal Patterns of Host-SeekingIxodes scapularisNymphs (Acari: Ixodidae) in the United States
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistently high estimates of late night, indoor exposure to malaria vectors despite high coverage of insecticide treated nets
M. Nabie Bayoh,Edward D. Walker,Jackline Kosgei,Maurice Ombok,George Olang,Andrew K. Githeko,Gerry F. Killeen,Gerry F. Killeen,Peter Otieno,Meghna Desai,Meghna Desai,Neil F. Lobo,John M. Vulule,Mary J. Hamel,Simon Kariuki,John E. Gimnig +15 more
TL;DR: This study found no evidence to support the contention that populations of Anopheles vectors of malaria in Asembo, western Kenya, are exhibiting the well-known pattern of late night, indoor, late at evening transmission of these highly anthropoph transmitted diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sampling Outdoor, Resting Anopheles gambiae and Other Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Western Kenya with Clay Pots
M. Odiere,M. Odiere,M. N. Bayoh,John E. Gimnig,John M. Vulule,Lucy W. Irungu,Edward D. Walker +6 more
TL;DR: Clay pots were analyzed as devices for sampling the outdoor resting fraction of Anopheles gambiae Giles (Diptera: Culicidae) and other mosquito species in a rural, western Kenya, indicating that the clay pots could be used as devices to quantify variation in mosquito population density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Bacteria in Mediating the Oviposition Responses of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae)
Jonathan D. Trexler,Charles S. Apperson,Ludek Zurek,César Gemeno,Coby Schal,Michael G. Kaufman,Edward D. Walker,D. Wesley Watson,Lance Wallace +8 more
TL;DR: Only volatiles collected from larval rearing water elicited significant electroantennogram responses in females, and water containing Psychrobacter immobilis, Sphingobacterium multivorum, and an undetermined Bacillus species elicited significantly higher oviposition than control water without bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
The efficacy of long-lasting nets with declining physical integrity may be compromised in areas with high levels of pyrethroid resistance
Eric Ochomo,Eric Ochomo,Nabie Bayoh,Edward D. Walker,Bernard O. Abong'o,Maurice Ombok,Collins Ouma,Andrew K. Githeko,John Vulule,Guiyun Yan,John E. Gimnig +10 more
TL;DR: In areas with pyrethroid resistant vectors, LLINs with modest hole areas permit mosquito entry and feeding, providing little protection against the vectors, diminishing their presupposed lifetime effectiveness.
