The combined predator ultrasound acoustic startle response in the female A. Gambiae

Maweu, Onesmus M.; Mang’are, P. A.; Ndiritu, F. G.; Vulule, J. M. (2013)

Ultrasound is detected by the female Anopheles gambiae using its antenna, evoking either an attractive or repulsive response. Electronic mosquito repellents which exploit this concept in attempt to control malaria, have ...
A comparative study of the transmission parameters of the sound of mosquito predators and EMR

Maweu, Onesmus M.; Mang’are, P. A.; Ndiritu, F. G.; Vulule, J. M. (2012)

The wide bandwidth EMR ultrasound, exploited in mosquito repellency, yielded only 20 % effectiveness. Due to this wide bandwidth, ultrasound from Amolops tormotus and Coleura afra, mosquito predators, was investigated. ...
The Startling Effect of the Sound of C. Afra and A. Tormotus on the Female A. Gambiae

Maweu, Onesmus M.; Mang’are, P. A.; Ndiritu, F. G.; Vulule, J. M. (2012)

The female Anopheles gambiae, a malaria vector, detects ultrasound by its antenna, initiating an attractive or repulsive response. Modern electronic mosquito repellents exploit this concept in attempt to control malaria, ...
