Background & objectives: Changes in weather patterns especially rainfall affects the
distribution and densities of mosquitoes. The objective of this study was to describe …

Abstract Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are important vectors of human disease-causing
pathogens. Mosquitoes are found both in rural and urban areas. Deteriorating infrastructure …

Background & objectives: The ecology and distribution of various mosquito species is
important in the determination of mosquito vector abundance and associated diseases …

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 …

The knowledge of the ecology and abundance of mosquito is important in determining the
potential risk of exposure to mosquito-borne diseases and the appropriate control measure …

Background: Mosquitoes are small slender bodied insects that feed on man and other
animals for blood meals. They are widely distributed in both tropical and temperate regions …

Methods Ten cages measuring 1× 1× 1 m (1 m 3) with a netting material were placed in 10
different aquatic habitats, which were positive for anopheline mosquito larvae. Emergent …

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 Baseline information that is essential for determining the areas to target with
larval control includes estimates of vector diversity and larval habitat preferences. Due to a …

Background Vector-borne diseases are increasingly becoming a major health problem
among communities living along the major rivers of Africa. Although larger water bodies …
