Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and temporal heterogeneity of Anopheles mosquitoes and Plasmodium falciparum transmission along the Kenyan coast
Charles M. Mbogo,Joseph M. Mwangangi,Joseph G. Nzovu,Weidong Gu,Guiyan Yan,James T. Gunter,Chris M. Swalm,Joseph Keating,James L. Regens,Josephat Shililu,John I. Githure,John C. Beier +11 more
TL;DR: The highly non-linear relationship between EIRs and prevalence indicates that the consistent pattern of high prevalence might be governed by substantial variation in transmission intensity measured by entomologic surveys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shifts in malaria vector species composition and transmission dynamics along the Kenyan coast over the past 20 years.
Joseph M. Mwangangi,Joseph M. Mwangangi,Charles M. Mbogo,Charles M. Mbogo,Benedict Orindi,Ephantus J. Muturi,Janet Midega,Joseph G. Nzovu,Hellen Gatakaa,J.I. Githure,Christian Borgemeister,Joseph Keating,John C. Beier +12 more
TL;DR: Reductions in the densities of the major malaria vectors and a shift from human to animal feeding have contributed to the decreased burden of malaria along the Kenyan coast.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of insecticide-treated bed nets on malaria transmission indices on the south coast of Kenya
Francis M. Mutuku,Charles H. King,Peter Mungai,Charles Mbogo,Joseph M. Mwangangi,Eric M. Muchiri,Edward D. Walker,Uriel Kitron,Uriel Kitron +8 more
TL;DR: These entomological indices indicate a much reduced human biting rate and a diminishing role of An.
Journal ArticleDOI

Joseph M. Mwangangi,Joseph M. Mwangangi,Ephantus J. Muturi,Simon Muriu,Joseph G. Nzovu,Janet Midega,Janet Midega,Charles M. Mbogo,Charles M. Mbogo +8 more
TL;DR: This study shows that malaria transmission is occurring both indoors and outdoors, with the main vectors An.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating Dispersal and Survival of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles funestus Along the Kenyan Coast by Using Mark–Release–Recapture Methods
Janet Midega,Charles M. Mbogo,Henry Mwambi,Michael D. Wilson,Gordon O. Ojwang,Joseph M. Mwangangi,Joseph G. Nzovu,John I. Githure,Guiyun Yan,John C. Beier +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the release of young, emergent female Anopheles improves the recapture rates and may be a better approach to MRR studies.
