Background In order to be able to design and implement control measures directed to the
mosquito larva stages an understanding of the spatial and temporal distribution and its …

Abstract Introduction By 2030, more than 50% of the African population will live in urban
areas. Controlling malaria reduces the disease burden and further improves economic …

Female anophelines were 1,670 (73.37%). There was a significant difference in the relative
abundance of mosquitoes with respect to season (P< 0.05). A number of factors (awareness …

Background Anopheles vectors of malaria are supposedly less common in urban areas as a
result of pollution, but there is increasing evidence of their adaptation to organically polluted …

Background & objectives: Anopheline mosquitoes consist of a large number of species each
of which differs from another in population, resting and feeding behaviour in relation to the …

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 …

Malaria parasites are transmitted in nature through the bites of female Anopheles
mosquitoes. However, the vector distribution varies in time and space. This study aimed to …

Background The rapid and unplanned urbanization of African cities is considered to
increase the risk of urban malaria transmission. The present study objective was to assess …

[en] Knowledge of mosquito ecology is a prerequisite for efficient implementation of vector
control strategies. This one-year study was carried out during the 2013 rainy season and the …

The longitudinal study was conducted in the South-east of Nigeria from April, 2013 to
February 2014 to investigate the seasonal abundance of anophelines and their correlation …
