The Ecology of Malaria Vectors
暫譯: 瘧疾媒介的生態學

這本實用的書籍涵蓋了瘧疾媒介生物學的各個方面，並附有登革熱媒介的相關說明。這是該領域首部專注於蚊子的著作，而非涵蓋所有疾病媒介。書籍的作者是著名的田野昆蟲學家 Jacques Derek Charlwood，他在過去40年中，將自己在五大洲研究蚊子生物學、生態學及新媒介控制工具評估的豐富經驗傳播出來。

本書涵蓋了從分類與系統學、種群動態、媒介控制，到監測與取樣、流行病學及一系列案例研究的所有方面，還考慮了遺傳學與抗性、白紋伊蚊（Aedes）生物學，以及瘧疾和登革熱模型。它旨在填補非常專業的文本與本科生一般疾病媒介書籍之間的空白，並且非常適合作為昆蟲學及疾病媒介蚊子的研究生課程的教科書。

Professor J.D Charlwood is Honorary fellow of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, UK; Honorary Fellow of Global Health and Tropical Medicine, IHMT, Lisbon, Portugal, Lecturer College of Health Sciences, Asmara, Eritrea. He has 42 years of working in the field in Brazil, Papua New Guinea, Tanzania, São Tomé, Cambodia, Mozambique, Ghana, The Gambia and 100+ publications on malaria vectors. Professor Charlwood published the first peer reviewed article on impregnated mosquito nets for malaria control (in PNG), was the entomologist for the first African malaria vaccine trial (in Tanzania), and worked in the epicentre of drug resistance emergence in S.E. Asia (in Cambodia). He was the implementer of the PAMVERC trial (in Tanzania).

Dr. Sarah Moore is a vector ecologist specializing in the chemical ecology and control of Anopheles mosquitoes with a focus on new and existing methods of repelling mosquitoes to protect individuals, households and communities. This includes repellents, repellent treated clothing and odour baited traps. Since working in Tanzania and witnessing the elegance of bednets as a malaria control tool in this setting, she has branched out into the evaluation of new indoor vector control tools including bednets and insecticides used for indoor spraying with new combinations of active ingredients or longer lasting formulations. As her knowledge of vector control deepened, she has added epidemiological evaluations of vector control tools to her research portfolio. Her work is dedicated to accurately measuring the efficacy of vector control tools using appropriate experimental design and data analysis in an open and collaborative way, and supporting others to build their own capacity to be able to do the same. Dr. Moore is currently leading the Good Laboratory Practice accreditation of the Ifakara Health Institute insecticide testing facility, and she is supervising four PhD students registered at Swiss Tropical and Public Health institute, University of Basel, where she is a group leader. In this way, Dr. Moore hopes to assist the global malaria control community to respond to the ever-shifting vector control environment to achieve malaria eradication in a timely and cost effective manner.

Dr Olivier Briët is a senior malariologist at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, analyzing effectiveness of existing and novel vector control and other integrated malaria control intervention strategies for partners such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the African Leaders Malaria Alliance, the US President's Malaria Initiative, and the World Health Organization. His scientific research and operational support to national malaria control programs focuses on evaluating and optimizing the effectiveness of existing and novel vector control intervention tools and strategies. He has a strong interest in quantitative evaluation methods. Previously, while serving as an integrated expert at the Rwandan Ministry of Health, Dr Briët supported the development and implementation of an integrated surveillance and response system for notifiable diseases, and also supported the National Malaria Control Programme. Prior to his work in Rwanda, he developed a malaria forecasting system with the Sri Lanka National Malaria Control Programme. When based in Côte d'Ivoire, he was part of a consortium studying the association between rice ecosystems and malaria and schistosomiasis in West Africa Dr Briët earned a Doctor of Philosophy

J.D. Charlwood 教授是英國利物浦熱帶醫學院的榮譽研究員；葡萄牙里斯本全球健康與熱帶醫學研究所的榮譽研究員，厄利垂亞健康科學學院的講師。他在巴西、巴布亞新幾內亞、坦尚尼亞、聖多美、柬埔寨、莫三比克、迦納、甘比亞等地的工作經驗長達42年，並在瘧疾媒介方面發表了100多篇論文。Charlwood 教授發表了第一篇關於浸漬蚊帳用於控制瘧疾的同行評審文章（在巴布亞新幾內亞），是第一個非洲瘧疾疫苗試驗的昆蟲學家（在坦尚尼亞），並在東南亞（在柬埔寨）抗藥性出現的中心工作。他是PAMVERC試驗的實施者（在坦尚尼亞）。

Sarah Moore 博士是一位專注於安非他命蚊子化學生態學和控制的媒介生態學家，專注於新舊驅蚊方法，以保護個人、家庭和社區。這包括驅蚊劑、驅蚊處理衣物和氣味誘餌陷阱。自從在坦尚尼亞工作並見證了蚊帳作為瘧疾控制工具的優雅之後，她開始評估新的室內媒介控制工具，包括蚊帳和用於室內噴灑的新活性成分組合或持久配方的殺蟲劑。隨著她對媒介控制的知識加深，她將媒介控制工具的流行病學評估納入她的研究組合。她的工作致力於使用適當的實驗設計和數據分析，以開放和合作的方式準確測量媒介控制工具的有效性，並支持他人建立自己的能力以能夠做到同樣的事情。Moore 博士目前正在領導伊法卡拉健康研究所的殺蟲劑測試設施的良好實驗室實踐認證，並指導四名在巴塞爾大學瑞士熱帶與公共衛生研究所註冊的博士生，她是該研究小組的負責人。通過這種方式，Moore 博士希望協助全球瘧疾控制社區應對不斷變化的媒介控制環境，以及時且具成本效益的方式實現瘧疾根除。

Olivier Briët 博士是瑞士熱帶與公共衛生研究所的高級瘧疾學家，分析現有和新型媒介控制及其他綜合瘧疾控制干預策略的有效性，合作夥伴包括全球基金會、非洲領導人瘧疾聯盟、美國總統瘧疾倡議和世界衛生組織。他的科學研究和對國家瘧疾控制計劃的運營支持專注於評估和優化現有和新型媒介控制干預工具和策略的有效性。他對定量評估方法有濃厚的興趣。之前，Briët 博士在盧旺達衛生部擔任綜合專家時，支持了可報告疾病的綜合監測和應對系統的開發和實施，並支持國家瘧疾控制計劃。在盧旺達工作之前，他與斯里蘭卡國家瘧疾控制計劃一起開發了一個瘧疾預測系統。在科特迪瓦工作時，他是研究西非稻米生態系統與瘧疾和血吸蟲病之間關聯的聯盟的一部分。Briët 博士獲得了哲學博士學位。
