An improved generic schema for high fidelity data linkage and sample tracing across complex multi-assay medical entomology studies

This paper evaluates an extended data schema for integrating multi-assay entomological data across field, insectary, and lab workflows, achieving high-fidelity sample tracing and data linkage.

Blood host preferences and competitive inter-species dynamics within an African malaria vector species complex inferred from signs of animal activity around aquatic larval habitats.

The paper investigates blood host preferences and competitive dynamics among malaria vector species in different ecosystems, finding that Anopheles arabiensis dominates human-dominated areas while An. quadriannulatus thrives in conserved areas with wild hosts.

Persistence of residual Anopheles gambiae populations associated with frontier human settlements and nocturnal livelihood-related activities at the fringes of a large conservation area in southern Tanzania

This study identifies residual Anopheles gambiae populations in frontier communities in Tanzania linked to nocturnal livelihood activities, suggesting potential for re-emergence despite LLIN coverage.

Comparative attractiveness of Anopheles quadriannulatus and Anopheles arabiensis to humans estimated by comparing the relative abundance of these two species in larval samples, unbaited adult catches and human-baited adult catches.

This study compares the attractiveness of Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles quadriannulatus to humans by analyzing their abundance in larval samples and adult catches using different trapping methods.
