Suppression of exposure to malaria vectors by an order of magnitude using microbial larvicides in rural Kenya (2006)
Journal Article
Fillinger, U., & Lindsay, S. (2006). Suppression of exposure to malaria vectors by an order of magnitude using microbial larvicides in rural Kenya. Tropical Medicine and International Health, 11(11), 1629-1642. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-3156.2006.01733.x

Objective  To determine the contribution larviciding could make to reduce the burden of malaria, by conducting a trial of microbial larvicides in a 4.5 km2 area in and around a large village in rural western Kenya. Method  The abundance of immature a... Read More about Suppression of exposure to malaria vectors by an order of magnitude using microbial larvicides in rural Kenya.

Community-based surveillance of malaria vector larval habitats: a baseline study in urban Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (2006)
Journal Article
Vanek, M., Shoo, B., Mtasiwa, D., Kiama, M., Lindsay, S., Fillinger, U., …Killeen, G. (2006). Community-based surveillance of malaria vector larval habitats: a baseline study in urban Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. BMC Public Health, 6, Article 154. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2458-6-154

Background: As the population of Africa rapidly urbanizes it may be possible to protect large populations from malaria by controlling aquatic stages of mosquitoes. Here we present a baseline evaluation of the ability of community members to detect mo...

Culturally-compelling strategies for behaviour change. A social ecology model and case study in malaria prevention (2006)
Journal Article
Panter-Brick, C., Clarke, S., Lomas, H., Pinder, M., & Lindsay, S. (2006). Culturally-compelling strategies for behaviour change. A social ecology model and case study in malaria prevention. Social Science & Medicine, 62(11), 2810-2825. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.socscimed.2005.10.009

Behaviour change is notoriously difficult to initiate and sustain, and the reasons why efforts to promote healthy behaviours fail are coming under increasing scrutiny. To be successful, health interventions should build on existing practices, skills... Read More about Culturally-compelling strategies for behaviour change.

Perceived nuisance of mosquitoes on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, UK. (2006)
Journal Article
Hutchinson, R., & Lindsay, S. (2006). Perceived nuisance of mosquitoes on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, UK. Journal of Biosocial Science, 38(5), 707-712. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0021932005000994

Little is known about the biting nuisance of mosquitoes in the UK, despite the high numbers found in some locations. A telephone questionnaire survey was used to determine the perceived nuisance of biting insects on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, a place...

Relationship between the intensity of exposure to malaria parasites and infection in the Usambara mountains, Tanzania (2006)
Journal Article
Bodker, R., Msangeni, H., Kisinza, W., & Lindsay, S. (2006). Relationship between the intensity of exposure to malaria parasites and infection in the Usambara mountains, Tanzania. American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 74(5), 716-723. https://doi.org/10.4269/ajtmh.2006.74.716

The relationship between exposure to Plasmodium falciparum malaria and parasite density and prevalence was studied in six communities along an altitude transect. Prevalence of parasitemia in children decreased by 5% for every 100 meter increase in al...

Negative spatial association between lymphatic filariasis and malaria in West Africa. (2006)
Journal Article
Kelly-Hope, L., Diggle, P., Rowlingson, B., Gyapong, J., Kyelem, D., Coleman, M., …Molyneux, D. (2006). Negative spatial association between lymphatic filariasis and malaria in West Africa. Tropical Medicine and International Health, 11(2), 129-135. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-3156.2005.01558.x

Objective To determine the relationship between human lymphatic filariasis, caused by Wuchereria bancrofti, and falciparum malaria, which are co-endemic throughout West Africa. Methods We used geographical information systems and spatial statistics t... Read More about Negative spatial association between lymphatic filariasis and malaria in West Africa..

Ecologists can enable communities to implement malaria vector control in Africa (2006)
Journal Article
Mukabana, W., Kannady, K., Kiama, G., Ijumba, J., Mathenge, E., Kiche, I., …Killeen, G. (2006). Ecologists can enable communities to implement malaria vector control in Africa. Malaria Journal, 5, Article 9. https://doi.org/10.1186/1475-2875-5-9

Background: Integrated vector management (IVM) for malaria control requires ecological skills that are very scarce and rarely applied in Africa today. Partnerships between communities and academic ecologists can address this capacity deficit, moderni... Read More about Ecologists can enable communities to implement malaria vector control in Africa.
