Yan G, Lee M, Zhou G, Jiang A, Degefa T, Zhong D, et al.
Am J Trop Med Hyg . 2022 Oct; 107(4_Suppl):5-13. PMID: 36228918
Food insecurity, recurrent famine, and poverty threaten the health of millions of African residents. Construction of dams and rural irrigation schemes is key to solving these problems. The sub-Saharan Africa...

Githure J, Yewhalaw D, Atieli H, Hemming-Schroeder E, Lee M, Wang X, et al.
Am J Trop Med Hyg . 2022 Oct; 107(4_Suppl):14-20. PMID: 36228905
Malaria control programs in Africa encounter daunting challenges that hinder progressive steps toward elimination of the disease. These challenges include widespread insecticide resistance in mosquito vectors, increasing outdoor malaria transmission,...

Zhou G, Hemming-Schroeder E, Jeang B, Wang X, Zhong D, Lee M, et al.
J Infect Dis . 2022 Sep; 226(9):1657-1666. PMID: 36056912
Background: Irrigated agriculture enhances food security, but it potentially promotes mosquito-borne disease transmission and affects vector intervention effectiveness. This study was conducted in the irrigated and nonirrigated areas of rural...

Zhou G, Zhong D, Lee M, Wang X, Atieli H, Githure J, et al.
Am J Trop Med Hyg . 2021 Feb; 104(4):1359-1370. PMID: 33556042
Malaria risk factor assessment is a critical step in determining cost-effective intervention strategies and operational plans in a regional setting. We develop a multi-indicator multistep approach to model the malaria...

Zhou G, Lee M, Atieli H, Githure J, Githeko A, Kazura J, et al.
Trials . 2020 Jul; 21(1):665. PMID: 32690063
Background: In the past two decades, the massive scale-up of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) has led to significant reductions in malaria mortality and morbidity. Nonetheless,...

Li J, Wang X, Zhang G, Githure J, Yan G, James A
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2013 Dec; 110(51):20675-80. PMID: 24297936
The malaria parasite-resistance island (PRI) of the African mosquito vector, Anopheles gambiae, was mapped to five genomic regions containing 80 genes, using coexpression patterns of genomic blocks. High-throughput sequencing identified...

Mala A, Irungu L, Shililu J, Muturi E, Mbogo C, Njagi J, et al.
Malar J . 2011 May; 10:121. PMID: 21569546
Background: The ecology of malaria vectors particularly in semi-arid areas of Africa is poorly understood. Accurate knowledge on this subject will boost current efforts to reduce the burden of malaria...

Mala A, Irungu L, Shililu J, Muturi E, Mbogo C, Njagi J, et al.
Parasit Vectors . 2011 Mar; 4:25. PMID: 21352608
Background: Pre-adult stages of malaria vectors in semi-arid areas are confronted with highly variable and challenging climatic conditions. The objective of this study was to determine which larval habitat types...

Mwangangi J, Kahindi S, Kibe L, Nzovu J, Luethy P, Githure J, et al.
Parasitol Res . 2010 Aug; 108(6):1355-63. PMID: 20730445
Larval control is a major component in mosquito control programs. This study evaluated the wide-scale application of Bti/Bs biolarvicide (Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis [Bti] and Bacillus sphaericus [Bs]) in different...

Jacob B, Griffith D, Muturi E, Caamano E, Githure J, Novak R
Malar J . 2009 Sep; 8:216. PMID: 19772590
Background: Autoregressive regression coefficients for Anopheles arabiensis aquatic habitat models are usually assessed using global error techniques and are reported as error covariance matrices. A global statistic, however, will summarize...
