Opinion
Larval source management for malaria control in Africa: myths and reality Ulrike Fillinger, Steven W Lindsay Malaria Journal 2011, 10:353 (13 December 2011) The manuscript presents a compelling argument for the potential value of larval control of malaria vectors in Africa.

Research
Development of environmental tools for anopheline larval control Susan S Imbahale, Collins K Mweresa, Willem Takken, Wolfgang R Mukabana Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:130 (6 July 2011) An integrated approach for mosquito vector control is the way forward for malaria and other water borne diseases. Communities need cheap and easily accessible strategies that they can adopt. Image: Anopheline mosquito breeding habitat manipulation through shading by local plants.

Prosper P Chaki, Nicodem J Govella, Bryson Shoo, Abdullah Hemed, Marcel Tanner, Ulrike Fillinger, Gerry F Killeen Malaria Journal 2009, 8:311 (30 December 2009) This paper relates a pilot study on mosquito control using larvicide in the town of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Long-term anopheline control using larvicides is an amazing logistic achievement, which could be successfully emulated in other urban areas

The paper is well-designed and provides a useful comparison of the effectiveness of the different traps.

Research
Impact of urban agriculture on malaria vectors in Accra, Ghana Eveline Klinkenberg, PJ McCall, Michael D Wilson, Felix P Amerasinghe, Martin J Donnelly Malaria Journal 2008, 7:151 (4 August 2008) The new insight resides in the urban farming as a provision of resting sites for adults rather than an increased number of larval habitat.
