Journal ArticleDOI
An affordable, quality-assured community-based system for high-resolution entomological surveillance of vector mosquitoes that reflects human malaria infection risk patterns
Prosper P Chaki,Prosper P Chaki,Yeromin P. Mlacha,Yeromin P. Mlacha,Daniel Msellemu,Daniel Msellemu,Athuman Muhili,Alpha D. Malishee,Zacharia Mtema,Zacharia Mtema,Samson S. Kiware,Samson S.

TL;DR: CB trapping approaches could be improved with more sensitive traps, but already offer a practical, safe and affordable system for routine programmatic mosquito surveillance and clusters could be distributed across entire countries by adapting the sample submission and quality assurance procedures accordingly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suppression of malaria vector densities and human infection prevalence associated with scale-up of mosquito-proofed housing in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: re-analysis of an observational series of parasitological and entomological surveys.
TL;DR: Whether scale-up of window screening was associated with suppression of mosquito populations, especially for malaria vectors that strongly prefer humans as their source of blood is established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lidar reveals activity anomaly of malaria vectors during pan-African eclipse
Mikkel Brydegaard,Samuel Jansson,Elin Malmqvist,Yeromin P. Mlacha,Yeromin P. Mlacha,Yeromin P. Mlacha,Alem Gebru,Fredros O. Okumu,Fredros O. Okumu,Fredros O. Okumu,Gerry F. Killeen,Gerry F. Killeen,Gerry F. Killeen,Carsten Kirkeby +13 more
TL;DR: In situ lidar classification of several insect families and their sexes based on their modulation signatures is demonstrated and how lidar-based monitoring of distinct mosquito activities could advance the understanding of vector ecology is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The epidemiology of residual Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission and infection burden in an African city with high coverage of multiple vector control measures
Daniel Msellemu,Daniel Msellemu,Hagai I. Namango,Hagai I. Namango,Victoria M. Mwakalinga,Victoria M. Mwakalinga,Alex J. Ntamatungiro,Alex J. Ntamatungiro,Yeromin P. Mlacha,Yeromin P.

TL;DR: While existing vector control interventions have dramatically attenuated malaria transmission in Dar es Salaam, further scale-up and additional measures to protect against mosquito bites outdoors are desirable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of community-based and integrated strategy to reduce malaria disease burden in southern Tanzania: the study protocol of China-UK-Tanzania pilot project on malaria control.

TL;DR: Application of China’s 1–3-7 model integrating with WHO-T3 initiative and local resources aiming at reducing the burden of malaria in terms of morbidity and mortality by 30% in the intervention communities in comparison with that at the baseline survey is applied.
