Novel Insights into Malaria Vector Surveillance in Madagascar Using a Quadrant Enabled Screen Trap (QUEST) and Bloodmeal Detection Assay for Regional Transmission (BLOODART)

Abstract: 31 Background: The Madagascar National Strategic Plan for Malaria Control 2018 (NSP) outlines 32 malaria control pre-elimination strategies that include detailed goals for mosquito control. 33 Primary surveillance protocols and mosquito control interventions focus on indoor vectors of 34 malaria, while many potential vectors feed and rest outdoors. Here we describe the application of 35 novel tools that advance our understanding of diversity, host choice, and Plasmodium infection 36 in the Anopheline mosquitoe… Show more

“…New rapid diagnostics for malaria, and global efforts to integrate and bolster mosquito surveillance, will help researchers tackle these threats, as will future efforts to maintain and expand long-term datasets like the one we use here. [5052] We recommend that focusing some of these efforts in the highlands of eastern Africa and Madagascar, and on the southern range limits of Anopheles gambiae complex, will likely be the strongest line of defense against the expansion of malaria epidemics into new populations in a changing climate.…”
