Confirmation of the presence of Anopheles stephensi among internally displaced people's camps and host communities in Aden city, Yemen.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Declines in global malaria cases and deaths since the millennium are currently challenged by multiple factors including funding limitations, limits of, and resistance to vector control tools, and also recent spread of the invasive vector species, Anopheles stephensi-especially into novel urban settings where malaria rates are typically low. Coupled with general increases in urbanization and escalations in the number of conflicts creating rapid and unplanned population displacement into temporary shelter camps within host urban areas, particularly in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa, increased urban malaria is a major threat to control and elimination.

Methods

Entomological monitoring surveys (targeting Aedes aegypti) of water containers across urban areas ho
