The effect of physicochemical characteristics of mosquito larval habitats on Anopheles
productivity is not well known. A cross-sectional survey was carried out on Mageta Island …

Background Characteristics of aquatic habitats determine whether mosquitoes will oviposit,
hatch, develop, pupate and successfully emerge into adults or not, thus influencing which …

Background Everyday hundreds of people, mainly men, set out to take part in a vibrant
artisanal capture fishing (ACF) industry on Lake Victoria. It is not known whether actions of …

The breeding of malaria-spreading vectors such as Anopheles funestus is influenced by
various environmental factors that contribute indirectly to the transmission of the …

A sampling census revealed 104 aquatic habitats of 6 types for Anopheles gambiae sl
larvae in a village in western Kenya, namely burrow pits, drainage channels, livestock hoof …

Background & objectives: The study was undertaken to characterize factors influencing
differential productivity of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes at larval habitats in a …

Background: Over the last two decades, there has been remarkable progress in malaria
control in sub-Saharan Africa, due mainly to the massive deployment of long-lasting …

Background The rise of insecticide resistance against malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa
has resulted in the need to consider other methods of vector control. The potential use of …

Mosquitoes exploit almost all types of aquatic habitats for breeding. Prevailing
physicochemical parameters in these habitats are important factors for survival and …

Background As the ecology of mosquito larvae can be complex there is need to develop a
rational framework for undertaking larval ecological studies. Local environmental …
