Ross, macdonald, and a theory for the dynamics and control of mosquito-transmitted pathogens.
David L. Smith,David L. Smith,Katherine E. Battle,Simon I. Hay,Simon I. Hay,Christopher M. Barker,Christopher M. Barker,Thomas W. Scott,Thomas W. Scott,F. Ellis McKenzie +9 more
TL;DR: The Ross-Macdonald theory has since played a central role in development of research on mosquito-borne pathogen transmission and the development of strategies for mosquitoes-borne disease prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statics and dynamics of malaria infection in Anopheles mosquitoes
David L. Smith,F. Ellis McKenzie +1 more
TL;DR: The classic formulae are used to illustrate how malaria control reduces malaria transmission and show that increased mosquito mortality has an effect even larger than was proposed by Macdonald in the 1950's.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revisiting the Basic Reproductive Number for Malaria and Its Implications for Malaria Control
TL;DR: This work estimates R 0 in a novel way for 121 African populations, and thereby increases the number of R 0 estimates for malaria by an order of magnitude, which strongly supports the long-held notion that malaria control presents variable challenges across its transmission spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Risk of a Mosquito-Borne Infectionin a Heterogeneous Environment
TL;DR: To understand how heterogeneity affects the epidemiology of mosquito-borne infections, a set of simple models that incorporate heterogeneity in a stepwise fashion are developed and show that estimates for the average risk of infection that are based on the average entomological inoculation rate are strongly biased in heterogeneous environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gametocytogenesis : the puberty of Plasmodium falciparum
Arthur M. Talman,Arthur M. Talman,Olivier Domarle,F. Ellis McKenzie,Frédéric Ariey,Vincent Robert,Vincent Robert +6 more
TL;DR: This review mainly focuses on the current knowledge on commitment to sexual development, gametocytogenesis and the evolutionary significance of various aspects of gametocyte biology.
