Background Larval control is of paramount importance in the reduction of malaria vector
abundance and subsequent disease transmission reduction. Understanding larval habitat …

Background Mosquito larval source management (LSM) is likely to be more effective when
adequate information such as dominant species, seasonal abundance, type of productive …

Abstract Introduction By 2030, more than 50% of the African population will live in urban
areas. Controlling malaria reduces the disease burden and further improves economic …

BACKGROUND: Management of malaria transmission relies heavily on vector control.
Implementation and sustenance of effective control measures require regular monitoring of …

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 …

Background Mosquito Larval Source Management (LSM) could be a valuable additional tool
for integrated malaria vector control especially in areas with focal transmission like the …

Background Understanding the ecology of larval malaria and lymphatic filariasis mosquitoes
in a changing environment is important in developing effective control tools or programmes …

Background Identification and characterization of larval habitats, documentation of
Anopheles spp. composition and abundance, and Plasmodium spp. infection burden are …

Background Although the occurrence of malaria vector larvae in the valleys of western
Kenya highlands is well documented, knowledge of larval habitats in the uphill sites is …

Background In the past two decades the east African highlands have experienced several
major malaria epidemics. Currently there is a renewed interest in exploring the possibility of …
