Gravid Anopheles malaria vectors depend on both chemical and physical (including
microbial) cues for selection of preferred habitats for oviposition. This study focused on …

Background Anopheles mosquitoes are the main malaria vector and as malaria cases
decline in Sub Saharan Africa, there is a growing realisation that new interventions need to …

Irrigation not only helps to improve food security but also creates numerous water bodies for
mosquito production. This study assessed the effect of irrigation on malaria vector bionomics …

Abstract Several sub-Saharan African countries rely on irrigation for food production. This
study examined the impact of environmental modifications resulting from irrigation on the …

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 breeding of malaria-spreading vectors such as Anopheles funestus is influenced by
various environmental factors that contribute indirectly to the transmission of the …

Background Pre-adult stages of malaria vectors in semi-arid areas are confronted with
highly variable and challenging climatic conditions. The objective of this study was to …

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

Background & objectives: The study was undertaken to characterize factors influencing
differential productivity of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes at larval habitats in a …

Background Although the occurrence of malaria vector larvae in the valleys of western
Kenya highlands is well documented, knowledge of larval habitats in the uphill sites is …
