TL;DR: This novel management, monitoring and evaluation system for implementing routine larviciding of malaria vectors in African cities has shown considerable potential for sustained, rapidly responsive, data-driven and affordable application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics and sustainability of urban agriculture: examples from sub-Saharan Africa
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the sustainability and dynamics of open-space vegetable production in cities of sub-Saharan Africa and compared it with data from other cities, using an adapted version of the Framework for Evaluating Sustainable Land Management developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results indicate the continuing role of An.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Despite significant reductions in vector density and malaria transmission caused by high coverage of ITNs, high numbers of host-seeking malaria vectors are still found indoors due to house designs that favour mosquito entry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Participatory mapping of target areas to enable operational larval source management to suppress malaria vector mosquitoes in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Stefan Dongus,Dickson Nyika,Khadija Kannady,Deo Mtasiwa,Hassan Mshinda,Ulrike Fillinger,Axel Drescher,Marcel Tanner,Marcia C. Castro,Gerry F. Killeen,Gerry F. Killeen +10 more
TL;DR: The procedure developed enables complete coverage of targeted areas with larval control through comprehensive spatial coverage with community-derived sketch maps, which can be readily integrated into malaria vector control programmes, scaled up to towns and cities all over Tanzania and adapted to urban settings elsewhere in Africa.
