Summary:Keywords: Vector surveillance; Mosquito monitoring; Entomological surveys; Mosquito species composition; Mosquito abundance; Pathogen infection rates; Vector competence; Insecticide resistance; Blood meal analysis Introduction Malaria is a widespread disease affecting millions of people worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Implications for Malaria control Understanding the influence of Anopheles mosquito saliva on Plasmodium infection has significant implications for malaria control strategies. Potential avenues include the development of vaccines that target salivary proteins, combination interventions that integrate mosquito control measures with anti-saliva approaches, and the design of personal protective measures that inhibit the interaction between mosquito saliva and the human host. GIS can integrate various data sources, such as entomological surveys, environmental variables, and human population data, to generate risk maps and guide targeted interventions (Table 2).
