Overall, the model gives a realistic representation of seasonal and year-to-year variability in mosquito densities and it can accurately predict the distribution of An. gambiae s.s. and An. arabiensis in sub-Saharan Africa. It may be used for seasonal and long-term predictions of changes in the burden of malaria.
	9.	Research Effects of pyrethroid resistance on the cost effectiveness of a mass distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets: a modelling study Olivier JT Briët, Melissa A Penny, Diggory Hardy, Taiwo S Awolola, Wim Van Bortel, Vincent Corbel, Roch K Dabiré, Josiane Etang, Benjamin G Koudou, Patrick K Tungu, Nakul Chitnis Malaria Journal 2013, 12:77 (25 February 2013) Abstract \| Provisional PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary The paper shows that standard and combination LLINs are likely to be cost effective against malaria even in areas with strong pyrethroid resistance. There is a strong message to funders and national malaria control programmes not abandon LLINs as the control tool of choice, because of fears that they might no longer be effective due to resistance.

	17.	Research Blood meal origins and insecticide susceptibility of Anopheles arabiensis from Chano in South-West Ethiopia Fekadu Massebo, Meshesha Balkew, Teshome Gebre-Michael, Bernt Lindtjørn Parasites & Vectors 2013, 6:44 (22 February 2013) Abstract \| Provisional PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary The greater tendency of An. arabiensis to feed on cattle justifies the application of insecticides on cattle to provide a significant protection from malaria infection. But, An. arabiensis has already developed resistance to the available insecticides, and alternative insecticides are needed. Image: Domestic animals are in an open condition every night in the study village.
	18.	Research Comparative field evaluation of combinations of long-lasting insecticide treated nets and indoor residual spraying, relative to either method alone, for malaria prevention in an area where the main vector is Anopheles arabiensis Fredros O Okumu, Edgar Mbeyela, Godfrey Lingamba, Jason Moore, Alex J Ntamatungiro, Deo R Kavishe, Michael G Kenward, Elizabeth Turner, Lena M Lorenz, Sarah J Moore Parasites & Vectors 2013, 6:46 (22 February 2013) Abstract \| Provisional PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Where the primary malaria vector is Anopheles arabiensis, adding IRS into houses with intact pyrethroid based LLINs does not enhance protection, except where the IRS employs highly mosquitocidal non-pyrethroids. In contrast, adding intact nets onto IRS enhances protection by preventing mosquito blood feeding (even if the nets are non-insecticidal) and by modestly increasing mosquito mortality (in case of LLINs). The primary mode of action of intact LLINs against An. arabiensis is demonstrated here to be primarily bite prevention rather than insecticidal activity. Image: A diagrammatic representation of simultaneous use of bednets and indoor residual spraying in the same house.
