Culex species are widespread across Cameroon and responsible for high burden of nuisance in most urban settings. However, despite their nuisance, they remain less studied compared to anophelines. The present study aimed assess distribution, susceptibility insecticide, bionomics role Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) transmission the city Yaoundé.Mosquito collections were conducted from March December 2017 using Centre Disease Control light traps (CDC-LT), human landing catches (HLC) larval...
Malaria prevention in Cameroon mainly relies on the use of ITNs. Although several free distribution campaigns treated nets have been conducted across country, bed net usage remains very low. A household survey was to assess knowledge population and practices affecting city Yaoundé.A community-based descriptive cross-sectional January 2017 32 districts Yaoundé. Parents (household head, spouse or an elder representative) who consented study, were interviewed using a structured pre-tested...
The invasion of Africa by the Asian urban malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi, endangers 126 million people across a rapidly urbanising continent where is primarily rural disease. Control An. stephensi requires greater understanding its origin, dynamics, and mechanisms widespread resistance to vector control insecticides. We present genomic surveillance study 551 sampled invasive native ranges in Asia. Our findings support hypothesis that an initial from Asia Djibouti seeded separate...
Improving house structure is known to limit contact between humans and mosquitoes reduce malaria transmission risk. In the present study, influence of characteristics on mosquito distribution risk was assessed in city Yaoundé.The study conducted from March 2017 June 2018 32 districts Yaoundé. Mosquito collections were performed indoor 10 15 houses per district using CDC light traps. A total 467 houses, selected randomly used. pretested questionnaire submitted participants collect information...

Abstract Background The rapid and unplanned urbanization of African cities is considered to increase the risk urban malaria transmission. present study objective was assess factors influencing spatio-temporal distribution Anopheles gambiae s.l. larvae in city Yaoundé, Cameroon. Methods All water bodies were checked once every 2 months for presence mosquito from March 2017 May 2018 32 districts Yaoundé. Physico-chemical characteristics including size, depth, turbidity, pH, temperature,...
The contribution of Anopheles funestus to malaria transmission in the urban environment is still not well documented. present study assesses implication An. two districts, Nsam and Mendong, city Yaoundé. Adult mosquitoes were collected using Centers for Disease Control Prevention miniature light traps (CDC-LT) human landing catches from April 2017 March 2018 identified morphologically species level. Those belonging gambiae complex group further processed by PCR identify members each...
Abstract The rapid expansion of insecticide resistance and outdoor malaria transmission are affecting the efficacy current control measures. In urban settings, where is focal breeding habitats few, fixed findable, addition anti-larval measures could be efficient for vector control. But field evidences this approach remains scarce. Here we provide findings a randomized-control larviciding trial conducted in city Yaoundé that support approach. A two arms random design including 26 clusters 2...
Although Culex species are considered to be equally affected by control measures targeting malaria vectors, there is still not enough evidence of the impact interventions such as larviciding on distribution these mosquito species. The present study assessed a trial vectors in city Yaoundé, Cameroon. A cluster randomized comparing 13 treated clusters and untreated was implemented. Data were collected at baseline during intervention, from March 2017 November 2020. microbial larvicide VectoMax...
Background Urban malaria is becoming a major public health concern in cities Cameroon. To improve vector control, pilot larviciding trial was conducted to assess its impact on mosquito density and transmission intensity Yaoundé. The present study investigated perceptions practices of communities control during the implemented Methods Quantitative qualitative data were collected non-intervention intervention areas. three cross-sectional surveys using structured pre-tested questionnaire while...

Abstract Although Culex species are considered to be equally affected by control measures targeting malaria vectors, there still not enough evidences of the impact interventions such as larviciding on these mosquito distribution. The present study assessed a trial vectors in city Yaoundé. A cluster randomized comparing thirteen treated clusters and untreated was implemented. Data were collected at baseline during intervention, from March 2017 November 2020. microbial larvicide VectoMax G...
