Effect of passive and active ventilation on malaria mosquito house entry and human comfort: an experimental study in rural Gambia (2023)
Journal Article
Carrasco-Tenezaca, M., Jawara, M., Lee, D. S., Holmes, M. S., Ceesay, S., McCall, P., …Wilson, A. L. (2023). Effect of passive and active ventilation on malaria mosquito house entry and human comfort: an experimental study in rural Gambia. Journal of the Royal Society. Interface, 20(201), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2022.0794

Rural houses in sub-Saharan Africa are typically hot and allow malaria mosquitoes inside. We assessed whether passive or active ventilation can reduce house entry of malaria mosquitoes and cool a bedroom at night in rural Gambia. Two identical experi...

Measuring ventilation in different typologies of rural Gambian houses: a pilot experimental study (2020)
Journal Article
Knudsen, J. B., Pinder, M., Jatta, E., Jawara, M., Yousuf, M. A., Søndergaard, A. T., & Lindsay, S. W. (2020). Measuring ventilation in different typologies of rural Gambian houses: a pilot experimental study. Malaria Journal, 19(1), Article 273. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-020-03327-0

Background: African houses are frequently too hot and uncomfortable to use a bed net at night. Indoor thermal comfort is often evaluated by measuring temperature and humidity, ignoring ventilation. This study explored ways to measure ventilation in s... Read More about Measuring ventilation in different typologies of rural Gambian houses: a pilot experimental study.

Efficacy of Olyset Duo, a bednet containing pyriproxyfen and permethrin, versus a permethrin-only net against clinical malaria in an area with highly pyrethroid-resistant vectors in rural Burkina Faso: a cluster-randomised controlled trial (2018)
Journal Article

Efficacy of Olyset Duo, a bednet containing pyriproxyfen and permethrin, versus a permethrin-only net against clinical malaria in an area with highly pyrethroid-resistant vectors in rural Burkina Faso: a cluster-randomised controlled trial. The Lancet, 392(10147), 569-580. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0140-6736%2818%2931711-2

Background Substantial reductions in malaria incidence in sub-Saharan Africa have been achieved with massive deployment of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), but pyrethroid resistance threatens control. Burkina Faso is an area with intense malar...

Emergence of knock-down resistance in the Anopheles gambiae complex in the Upper River Region, The Gambia, and its relationship with malaria infection in children (2018)
Journal Article
Wilson, A., Pinder, M., Bradley, J., Donnelly, M., Hamid-Adiamoh, M., Jarju, L., …Lindsay, S. (2018). Emergence of knock-down resistance in the Anopheles gambiae complex in the Upper River Region, The Gambia, and its relationship with malaria infection in children. Malaria Journal, 17, Article 205. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-018-2348-8

Background Insecticide resistance threatens malaria control in sub-Saharan Africa. Knockdown resistance to pyrethroids and organochlorines in Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) is commonly caused by mutations in the gene encoding a voltage-gated sod...

The RooPfs study to assess whether improved housing provides additional protection against clinical malaria over current best practice in The Gambia: study protocol for a randomized controlled study and ancillary studies (2016)
Journal Article
Pinder, M., Conteh, L., Jeffries, D., Jones, C., Knudsen, J., Kandeh, B., …Lindsay, S. (2016). The RooPfs study to assess whether improved housing provides additional protection against clinical malaria over current best practice in The Gambia: study protocol for a randomized controlled study and ancillary studies. Trials, 17(1), Article 275. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-016-1400-7

Background In malaria-endemic areas, residents of modern houses have less malaria than those living in traditional houses. This study will determine if modern housing provides incremental protection against clinical malaria over the current best prac...

Background: Although many malaria control programmes in sub-Saharan Africa use indoor residual spraying with long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), the two studies assessing the benefit of the combination of these two interventions gave conflicting...

Alternative Treatments for Indoor Residual Spraying for Malaria Control in a Village with Pyrethroid- and DDT-Resistant Vectors in The Gambia (2013)
Journal Article
Tangena, J., Majida, A., D'Alessandro, U., Jarju, L., Jawara, M., Jeffries, D., …Pinder, M. (2013). Alternative Treatments for Indoor Residual Spraying for Malaria Control in a Village with Pyrethroid- and DDT-Resistant Vectors in The Gambia. PLoS ONE, 8(9), Article e74351. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0074351

Background: Malaria vector control is threatened by resistance to pyrethroids, the only class of insecticides used for treating bed nets. The second major vector control method is indoor residual spraying with pyrethroids or the organochloride DDT. H...
