Article Synopsis
- - South Africa is a malaria-endemic country with three provinces where the spread of malaria is linked to specific mosquito vectors, making vector control critical for elimination efforts.
- - The Ehlanzeni district in Mpumalanga has been monitored for malaria vectors, particularly the Anopheles gambiae complex, and comprehensive data has been gathered from 2009 to 2021 but has not been analyzed until now.
- - The study found that An. merus and An. arabiensis are the most common species, with different collection methods yielding varying results; however, vector abundance showed no significant link to annual climatic changes, pointing to potential data collection limitations.
Background: A malaria slide bank (MSB) is a useful asset for any malaria microscopy testing laboratory to have access to. However, it is not feasible for every country to have its own MSB. If countries are able to pool their resources, a regional MSB is a viable solution.
