Mosquito Population Regulation and Larval Source Management in Heterogeneous Environments
An important question for mosquito population dynamics, mosquito-borne pathogen transmission and vector control is how mosquito populations are regulated. Here we develop simple models with heterogeneity in egg laying patterns and in the responses of larval populations to crowding in aquatic habitats. We use the models to evaluate how such heterogeneity affects mosquito population regulation an...
متن کاملMosquito larval source management for controlling malaria.
BACKGROUND Malaria is an important cause of illness and death in people living in many parts of the world, especially sub-Saharan Africa. Long-lasting insecticide treated bed nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) reduce malaria transmission by targeting the adult mosquito vector and are key components of malaria control programmes. However, mosquito numbers may also be reduced by larv...
متن کاملIntegrated mosquito larval source management reduces larval numbers in two highland villages in western Kenya
BACKGROUND In western Kenya, malaria remains one of the major health problems and its control remains an important public health measure. Malaria control is by either use of drugs to treat patients infected with malaria parasites or by controlling the vectors. Vector control may target the free living adult or aquatic (larval) stages of mosquito. The most commonly applied control strategies tar...
متن کاملLarval Source Management in Khartoum, Sudan
Figure 1. Khartoum state Larval Source Management in Khartoum, Sudan Malaria was the major cause of outpatient attendances, admissions and deaths in Khartoum in the 1980s and 1990s. This led to the launch of the Khartoum Malaria Free Initiative (KMFI) in 2002 by the State and Federal Ministry of Health, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), with the aim of reducing malaria ...
متن کاملLarval Source Management (LSM) in urban India
The Indian National Malaria Eradication Programme (NMEP) was launched in 1958 using indoor residual spraying (IRS) for all roofed structures, except for those in urban areas where larval source management (LSM) was recommended [2]. While malaria incidence declined overall, urban malaria increased during the 1960s especially in the states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Mah...
