Background The diversity and abundance of Anopheles larvae has significant influence on
the resulting adult mosquito population and hence the dynamics of malaria transmission …

Gravid Anopheles malaria vectors depend on both chemical and physical (including
microbial) cues for selection of preferred habitats for oviposition. This study focused on …

Knowledge of the effects of environmental changes on malaria vector bionomics and
surveillance of malaria transmission is important in understanding malaria epidemiology …

Ecological changes associated with anthropogenic ecosystem disturbances can influence
human risk of exposure to malaria and other vector-borne infectious diseases. This study in …
