	8.	Research 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).

This pilot study addresses some of the important issues of larviciding in an urban environment.

	15.	Protein family review Plant glutathione transferases David P Dixon, Adrian Lapthorn, Robert Edwards Genome Biology 2002, 3:reviews3004-reviews3004.10 (26 February 2002) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary The soluble glutathione transferases (GSTs) are a large, conserved family of proteins that use the tripeptide glutathione as a cosubstrate or coenzyme. They are predominantly expressed in the cytosol and have a range of catalytic and non-catalytic functions, including detoxification of herbicides and protection from oxidative stress, and have been implicated in other cellular processes.

	19.	Research 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.
