TL;DR: This study demonstrates rapid evolution of resistance following reintroduction of pyrethroid-based control interventions, with the selection of a P450-based mechanism (CYP9K1) in addition to knockdown resistance, which prompted a reversion to bendiocarb IRS in 2016 to avoid a resurgence of malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malaria transmission after five years of vector control on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea

TL;DR: In spite of five years of extensive malaria control and a generalized reduction in the force of transmission, parasite prevalence and child mortality, foci of very high transmission persist on Bioko Island, particularly in the northwestern Punta Europa area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in parasite prevalence following 13 years of malaria interventions on Bioko island, Equatorial Guinea: 2004–2016

TL;DR: Island-wide interventions have resulted in a substantial reduction in malaria transmission on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, and this unique time series of 13 consecutive annual malaria indicator surveys clearly demonstrates the long-term effectiveness of the sustained use of two vector control interventions, indoor residual spraying and LLINs, and the value of comprehensive and sustained surveillance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Entomological inoculation rates in 2009 on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea
Hans J. Overgaard,Vamsi P Reddy,Simon Abaga,Abrahan Matias,Michael R. Reddy,Vani Kulkarni,Christopher Schwabe,Luis Segura,Immo Kleinschmidt,Michel A. Slotman +9 more
TL;DR: The results from the human landing collections of 2009 are reported on vector density, biting times, species composition, sporozoite rates, and entomological inoculation rates (EIR).
