Field evaluation of ethnomedicinal plants’ smoke knockdown and repellent efficacy against pre-bedtime biting malaria vectors in Mazowe district, Zimbabwe Open
The study investigated the knockdown and repellent efficacy of smoke from native plants, Vitex payos (Lour.) Merr., Peltophorum africanum Sond., and Adansonia digitata L., against malaria vectors in Bare ward, Mazowe district, Zimbabwe. Th…

Seasonal abundance, host seeking and resting behaviours of Anopheles gambiae and An. funestus complexes in Mazowe and Shamva districts, Zimbabwe Open
Background & objectives: Determining the host seeking and resting behaviours of malaria vectors in a locality is vital for the design and implementation of locally adapted vector control strategies. This study investigated the seasonal abu…

An ethnobotanical survey of plants used against host-seeking mosquitoes by communities in Mazowe and Shamva districts, Zimbabwe Open
Background: There is a dearth of information on plants used to repel mosquitoes in many rural malaria-endemic communities in Zimbabwe. The objective was to assess and document the knowledge and usage customs of mosquito-repellent plants am…

Progress towards malaria elimination in Zimbabwe with special reference to the period 2003–2015 Open
A significant progress to reduce malaria transmission in Zimbabwe has been made. While a great potential and opportunities to eliminate malaria in the country exist, elimination is not a business as usual approach. Instead, it needs an imp…

Biting behaviour of Anopheles funestus populations in Mutare and Mutasa districts, Manicaland province, Zimbabwe: Implications for the malaria control programme Open
The present work highlighted important information on the host-seeking behaviour, blood meal sources and infection rates in An. funestus. The information would be helpful in improving the vector control strategies.
