Interview   Open Access Highly Accessed

From aging worms to the influence of the microbiota: an interview with David Weinkove

David Weinkove BMC Biology 2013, 11:94 (29 August 2013)

Full text | PDF | PubMed |  Editor’s summary

David Weinkove explains, in an interview on his BMC Award-winning paper, how an unlooked-for effect of the common food supplement folate on aging in C. elegans caused him to refocus his research on the E. coli that they feed on.

Research   Open Access

Long term study on the effect of mollusciciding with niclosamide in stream habitats on the transmission of schistosomiasis mansoni after community-based chemotherapy in Makueni District, Kenya

Henry C Kariuki, Henry Madsen, John H Ouma, Anthony E Butterworth, David W Dunne, Mark Booth, Gachuhi Kimani, Joseph K Mwatha, Eric Muchiri, Birgitte J Vennervald Parasites & Vectors 2013, 6:107 (18 April 2013)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed |  Editor’s summary

This study compares reinfection of people by Schistosoma mansoni over a 4 year period after treatment with praziquantel between two areas, one where the chemotherapy was followed by regular mollusciciding in transmission sites (Intervention) and one where no other control measures were implemented after the initial chemotherapy (Non-intervention area). The study shows that mollusciciding significantly reduces reinfection. Image: Checking site for Biomphalaria pfeifferi.

Research   Open Access

Dose–response tests and semi-field evaluation of lethal and sub-lethal effects of slow release pyriproxyfen granules (Sumilarv®0.5G) for the control of the malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae sensu lato

Oscar Mbare, Steven W Lindsay, Ulrike Fillinger Malaria Journal 2013, 12:94 (14 March 2013)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed |  Editor’s summary

Research has shown that larviciding can be an effective tool for integrated malaria vector control, but the uptake of this intervention has been hampered by the need to re-apply larvicides frequently. There is a need to explore persistent, environmentally friendly larvicides for malaria vector control and the efficacy of a 0.5% pyriproxyfen granule was assessed here for the control of major malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa.

Electric nets and sticky materials for analysing oviposition behaviour of gravid malaria vectors

Sisay Dugassa, Jenny M Lindh, Steve J Torr, Florence Oyieke, Steven W Lindsay, Ulrike Fillinger Malaria Journal 2012, 11:374 (14 November 2012)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed |  Editor’s summary

A square of four e-nets with yellow sticky boards as a collection device can be used for quantifying the numbers of mosquitoes approaching a small oviposition site. Shiny sticky surfaces attract gravid females possibly because they are visually mistaken as aquatic habitats. These materials might be developed further as gravid traps.
