Effect of pregnancy on exposure to malaria mosquitoes.

S Lindsay, J Ansell, C Selman, V Cox, K Hamilton, G Walraven.   

Abstract

Pregnant women attracted twice the number of Anopheles gambiae complex--the predominant African malaria-carrying mosquito--than did their non-pregnant counterparts. We postulate that physiological and behavioural changes that occur during pregnancy are responsible for increased attractiveness, which could be important in intervention strategies aimed at protecting this high-risk group against malaria.
