[ s.l. larval habitats and resistance mechanisms in Kribi, Cameroon].

Background: The effectiveness of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) in controlling malaria vectors is hampered by the resistance of anopheles to insecticides. A good knowledge of the breeding sites and of the resistance profile of the vectors could facilitate the development of an appropriate control strategy. This study looks at the larval ecology and the susceptibility profile of s.

Insights into factors sustaining persistence of high malaria transmission in forested areas of sub-Saharan Africa: the case of Mvoua, South Cameroon.

Background: In Mvoua, a village situated in a forested area of Cameroon, recent studies have reported high prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum infection among the population. In order to understand factors that can sustain such a high malaria transmission, we investigated the biology of Anopheles vectors and its susceptibility to insecticides, as well as long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) coverage, use and bio-efficacy.

Methods: A longitudinal entomological survey was conducted from July 2018 to April 2019.

Anopheles coluzzii larval habitat and insecticide resistance in the island area of Manoka, Cameroon.

Background: The effectiveness of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets and Indoor Residual Spraying in malaria vector control is threatened by vector resistance to insecticides. Knowledge of mosquito habitats and patterns of insecticide resistance would facilitate the development of appropriate vector control strategies. Therefore, we investigated An.

Impact of vegetable crop agriculture on anopheline agressivity and malaria transmission in urban and less urbanized settings of the South region of Cameroon.

Background: The use of inland valley swamps for vegetable crop agriculture contributes to food security in urban and less urbanized settings in Africa. The impact of this agriculture on aggressive mosquitoes' diversity and malaria transmission in central Africa is poorly documented. This study is aimed at assessing the impact of vegetable crop agriculture on these entomological parameters in urban and less urbanized settings of the forest area, south of Cameroon.
