The availability of potential hosts as a determinant of feeding behaviours and malaria transmission by African mosquito populations

1 Sept 2001

Abstract excerpt

A simple model for the influence of host availability on vector bloodmeal choice is applied to estimate the relative availabilities of humans, cattle and other host populations to malaria vectors in African communities, using published human blood indices and ratios of cattle to humans. Cattle were bitten < 0.01, 0.021 +/- 0.11, 1.61 +/- 0.16 and 1.61 +/- 0.46 times as often as humans by Anopheles funestus, An....
