Distribution of mosquito larvae in inundated rice fields is poorly known despite its profound
implications in implementation of vector control programs. Based on oviposition behavior of …

We conducted an entomological survey to determine the mosquito species diversity and
abundance in relation to land use in the Mwea rice scheme, Kenya. Adult mosquitoes were …

Introduction of irrigation projects in developing nations has often been blamed for
aggravating the problem of mosquito-borne diseases by creating ideal larval habitats for …

The succession of mosquito species and abiotic factors affecting their distribution and
abundance in rice (Oryza spp.) fields was investigated over a 16-wk rice growing cycle …

We determined changes in species composition and densities of immature stages of
Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes in relation to rice growth cycle in order to generate data …

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

A study was carried out at Mwea Rice Irrigation Scheme, Kenya, to assess the impact of rice
husbandry on mosquito breeding and identify indigenous biocontrol agents with potential for …

Light traps were used to sample the emerging adult populations of ANOPHELES GAMBIAE
through 3 complete cycles of rice cultivation. In the 1st crop adults were taken in large …

A survey of the mosquito fauna in the Mwea-Tebere Irrigation Scheme in Kenya was
conducted between 1984 and 1985. Two genera, Anopheles and Culex were found indoors …
