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

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 & objectives: Malaria in urban and highland areas is emerging as a significant
public health threat in Kenya which has seen a dramatic increase in malaria transmission in …

Malaria in the western highlands of Kenya is unpredictable and occurs in form of severe
outbreaks and epidemics resulting in loss of life and exerts a strain on public health …

Background: Effective control of malaria requires knowledge of vector species, their feeding
and resting behaviour as well as breeding habitats. The objective of this study was to …

Anopheline larval habitats associated with a swamp, were examined in a highland area
(1910 m elevation) of western Kenya. A significant association was found between …

Background Estimation of the composition and densities of mosquito species populations is
crucial for monitoring the epidemiology of mosquito-borne diseases and provide information …

Background Malaria cases on the highlands west of Mount Kenya have been noticed since
10–20 years ago. It was not clear whether these cases were introduced from the nearby …

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