  Abstract

There has been some constant changes in the biology and behaviour of the vector and parasite involved in the transmission of malaria. The limited interest in developing new technologies and procedures for its control are the underlying factors of this threat, which pose an enormous challenge for the health systems. To understand the various vector species and their interrelations is of prime importance to master the transmission mechanisms of malaria in order to react efficiently. To attain this objective we have used an ontological approach to produce a database that we consider to be our own contribution to help in the control of the malaria vectors if eradication is a nightmare from the previous control campaign.
