We used this method in the remote and malaria-endemic Bijagos archipelago, Guinea-Bissau, to generate the first estimate of the proportion of bites taken on people when they are bed, required for transmission modelling to predict the impact of indoor vector control tools in this setting. 3/n

We propose a new methodology which aims to simplify biting behaviour surveillance, which may be particularly useful in remote and hard-to-reach locations. 2/n

Simplifying mosquito sampling to estimate community biting exposure and malaria indoor vector control impact Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are most effective against malaria if mosquitoes attempt to bite people when they are in bed. Collecting the biting behaviour data required to quantify a key metric - t...

Call for Proposals: How can we address the gaps in the vector control toolbox for malaria? - IVCC Responding to the challenge of gaps in the malaria vector control tool box, IVCC has issued a call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) to fund Proof of Concept (PoC) projects for new vector control tool...

We need more ways to kill mosquitoes, especially outside the home where most people are vulnerable. Got a crazy way of clobbering mossies? If so, this call is for you. www.ivcc.com/call-for-pro...
