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 …

Background Localized mosquito larval habitat management and the use of larvicides have
been proposed as important control tools in integrated malaria vector management …

Background & objectives: Malaria resurgence in highland regions of East Africa has been on
increase. The spatio-temporal distribution of larval habitats of malaria vectors determines the …

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

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 …

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 …

The distributions of anopheline larval habitats were aggregated in valley bottoms in Kenya
in both the rainy and dry seasons, although the degree of aggregation was higher in the dry …

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

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

Control of aquatic‐stage Anopheles is one of the oldest and most historically successful
interventions to prevent malaria, but it has seen little application in Africa. Consequently, the …
