Information on the spatial relationships between disease vectors and environmental factors
is fundamental to vector-borne disease control. Although it is well known that mosquito …

The current study examined temporal and spatial distribution patterns of anopheline malaria
vectors in a highland site and determined the number of houses to be sampled to achieve …

This paper describes a geographic sampling strategy for ecologic studies and describes the
relationship between human activities and anopheline larval ecology in urban areas …

The abundance of anopheline mosquitoes varies substantially among houses within the
same villages. Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto is highly anthropophilic, and Anopheles …

Studies were conducted to characterize larval habitats of anopheline mosquitoes and to
analyze spatial heterogeneity of mosquito species in the Suba District of western Kenya. A …

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 …

Studies were carried out at three sites in the highlands of western Kenya (Iguhu and Mbale
in Kakamega and Vihiga districts, respectively, and Marani in Kisii district) and at one site in …

Spatial and temporal variations in the distribution of anopheline larval habitats and land use
and land cover (LULC) changes can influence malaria transmission intensity. This …

We examined the effects of land cover type on survivorship and productivity of Anopheles
gambiae in Kakamega in the western Kenyan highlands (elevation= 1,420-1,580 meters …

In Africa, malaria is predominantly a rural disease where agriculture forms the backbone of
the economy. Various agro-ecosystems and crop production systems have an impact on …
