Achieving high coverage of larval-stage mosquito surveillance: challenges for a community-based mosquito control programme in urban Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Prosper P Chaki, Nicodem J Govella, Bryson Shoo, Abdullah Hemed, Marcel Tanner, Ulrike Fillinger, Gerry F Killeen Malaria Journal 2009, 8:311 (30 December 2009)

This paper relates a pilot study on mosquito control using larvicide in the town of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Long-term anopheline control using larvicides is an amazing logistic achievement, which could be successfully emulated in other urban areas
