Influence of biological and physicochemical characteristics of larval habitats on the body size of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) along the Kenyan coast.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The number and productivity of larval habitats ultimately determine the density of adult mosquitoes. The biological and physicochemical conditions at the larval habitat affect larval development hence affecting the adult body size. The influence of biological and physicochemical characteristics on the body size of Anopheles gambiae was assessed in Jaribuni village, Kilif...
متن کاملSpatial distribution and habitat characterisation of Anopheles larvae along the Kenyan coast.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES A study was conducted to characterise larval habitats and to determine spatial heterogeneity of the Anopheles mosquito larvae. The study was conducted from May to June 1999 in nine villages along the Kenyan coast. METHODS Aquatic habitats were sampled by use of standard dipping technique. The habitats were characterised based on size, pH, distance to the nearest house,...
متن کاملLocalized breeding of the Anopheles gambiae complex (Diptera: Culicidae) along the River Gambia, West Africa.
A study was undertaken to identify the major larval habitats of the Anopheles gambiae (Giles) complex in rural Gambia. Mosquito larvae and pupae were sampled along transects and in specific habitats in the central region of the country during the rainy seasons of 1996 and 1997. The sampling showed that the major breeding sites were located on the flooded alluvial soils bordering the river. The ...
متن کاملBionomics of Anopheles fluviatilis and Anopheles culicifacies (Diptera: Culicidae) in Relation to Malaria Transmission in East-Central India
The southern districts of Odisha State in east-central India have been highly endemic for falciparum malaria for many decades. However, there is no adequate information on the abundance of the vector species or their bionomics in relation to space and time in these districts. Therefore, a study was carried out on the entomological aspects of malaria transmission to generate such information. Co...
متن کاملMorphological study and description of Anopheles (Anopheles) persiensis, a member of the Maculipennis Group (Diptera: Culicidae: Anophelinae) in Iran
شکل‌شناسی حشرات بالغ، تخم، لارو و شفیره‌ی Anopheles persiensis Linton, Sedaghat & Harbach، عضو ایرانی گروه Maculipennis منطقه‌ی هولارکتیک (Holarctic)، مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته و با گونه‌ی نزدیک و هم‌محل (sympatric) خود، A. maculipennis Meigen، مقایسه می‌شود. گونه‌ی A. persiensis در ابتدا بر اساس شواهد مولکولی و DNA و همچنین مشخصات تخم تشخیص داده شد. این گونه که چهارمین عضو این گروه است، با جزییات...
