	28.	Research *Dry season ecology of Anopheles gambiae* complex mosquitoes in The Gambia** Musa Jawara, Margaret Pinder, Chris J Drakeley, Davis C Nwakanma, Ebrima Jallow, Claus Bogh, Steve W Lindsay, David J Conway Malaria Journal 2008, 7:156 (18 August 2008) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Results of a longitudinal follow up of mosquito population dynamics at the end of the dry season in four villages in The Gambia, with emphasis on mosquitoes from the Anopheles gambiae complex.

	29.	Research Microbial larvicides for malaria control in The Gambia Silas Majambere, Steven W Lindsay, Clare Green, Balla Kandeh, Ulrike Fillinger Malaria Journal 2007, 6:76 (7 June 2007) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Environmentally safe microbial larvicides can significantly reduce larval abundance in the natural habitats of The Gambia and could be a useful tool for inclusion in an integrated vector management programme.
	30.	Research Identifying the most productive breeding sites for malaria mosquitoes in The Gambia Ulrike Fillinger, Heleen Sombroek, Silas Majambere, Emiel van Loon, Willem Takken, Steven W Lindsay Malaria Journal 2009, 8:62 (10 April 2009) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary A paper on an important aspect of malaria vector ecology, with relevance to control. The results indicate that anti-larval interventions in this area of The Gambia cannot be targeted in space or time during the rainy season.
	31.	Methodology 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.
	32.

	35.	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.

	43.	Study protocol Psycho-education with problem solving (PEPS) therapy for adults with personality disorder: A pragmatic multi-site community-based randomised clinical trial Mary McMurran, Mike J Crawford, Joseph G Reilly, Paul McCrone, Paul Moran, Hywel Williams, Clive E Adams, Conor Duggan, Juan Delport, Diane Whitham, Florence Day Trials 2011, 12:198 (24 August 2011) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed
	44.	Opinion Ecologists can enable communities to implement malaria vector control in Africa W Mukabana, Khadija Kannady, G Michael Kiama, Jasper N Ijumba, Evan M Mathenge, Ibrahim Kiche, Gamba Nkwengulila, Leonard Mboera, Deo Mtasiwa, Yoichi Yamagata, Ingeborg van Schayk, Bart GJ Knols, Steven W Lindsay, Marcia de Castro, Hassan Mshinda, Marcel Tanner, Ulrike Fillinger, Gerry F Killeen Malaria Journal 2006, 5:9 (3 February 2006) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Ecologists in African acadaemia are uniquely positioned to enable the application of practical environmental and entomological skills for malaria control by communities at grass roots level and should be supported to fulfil this neglected role.
	45.	Methodology *A new tent trap for sampling exophagic and endophagic members of the Anopheles gambiae* complex** Nicodemus J Govella, Prosper P Chaki, Yvonne Geissbuhler, Khadija Kannady, Fredros Okumu, J Derek Charlwood, Robert A Anderson, Gerry F Killeen Malaria Journal 2009, 8:157 (14 July 2009) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary There have been numerous malaria studies published, which mostly depend on human landing catch or CDC-LT collections, but only few studies have looked at alternative sampling tools, which are needed in resource-poor areas where even batteries are often not available. A tent trap requires only one human person sleeping in it, while all mosquito sampling tools to-date depend on human (volatiles), which vary significantly and hence, sampling is strongly dependent on the odour characteristics of the human host.
	46.	Research Window screening, ceilings and closed eaves as sustainable ways to control malaria in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Sheila B Ogoma, Khadija Kannady, Maggy Sikulu, Prosper P Chaki, Nicodem J Govella, Wolfgang R Mukabana, Gerry F Killeen Malaria Journal 2009, 8:221 (29 September 2009) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary The paper evaluates the reported motives behind installation of ceilings and screens in a large East African urban city endemic for malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases. The reported human preferences for blocking specific mosquito entry points are compared with the known preferences of mosquitoes for various points of entry into houses.
