“…House improvement shows great potential to complement these methods and may further reduce indoor mosquito biting and disease transmission. Open eaves serve as important mosquito house entry points and provide a suitable location for intercepting host-seeking anophelines. …”

“…As demonstrated in this research, outdoor collections are also essential because they provide data on the relative contribution of outdoor biting to malaria transmission. Therefore, the Suna trap could serve as an alternative to the HLC and the CDC-LT, because it does not require the use of humans as natural baits, allows standardised sampling conditions across sampling points, and can be used outdoors. …”

“…The coordination of the ligands with respect to the central atom in the complex bromido­tricarbon­yl[diphen­yl(pyridin-2-yl)phosphane-κ(2) N,P]rhenium(I) chloro­form disolvate, [ReBr(C(17)H(14)NP)(CO)(3)]·2CHCl(3) or [κ(2)-P,N-{(C(6)H(5))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)P}Re(CO)(3)Br]·2CHCl(3), (I·2CHCl(3)), is best described as a distorted octa­hedron with three carbonyls in a facial conformation, a bromide atom, and a biting P,N-di­phenyl­pyridyl­phosphine ligand. Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that C—Cl⋯H inter­actions contribute 26%, the distance of these inter­actions are between 2.895 and 3.213 Å. …”

“…CONCLUSIONS: Direct skin feeding and membrane feeding on day 7 resulted in similar mosquitocidal effects of ivermectin across a wide range of drug concentrations, suggesting that the mosquitocidal effects seen with membrane feeding accurately reflect those of natural biting. Membrane feeding, which is more patient friendly and ethically acceptable, can likely reliably be used to assess ivermectin’s mosquitocidal efficacy. …”

“…The difference persisted after washing, as there was no indication that either LLIN lost protection against biting or blood-feeding. The level of personal protection derived from the use of VEERALIN® LN was high (87%) compared to MAGNet® LN (66–69%) whether unwashed or washed. …”

Indoor peak biting rates were observed between 02 a.m. to 04 a.m. in non-improved houses and from 02 a.m. to 06 a.m. in improved houses. …”

CONCLUSION: Mosquito abundance and malaria transmission intensity in clusters close to the river were higher which could be attributed to the riverine breeding sites. …”
