Geospatial modelling of dry season habitats of the malaria vector, Anopheles funestus, in south-eastern Tanzania

2023-12-11

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title><p><bold>Introduction:</bold><italic>Anopheles funestus</italic>is a major malaria vector in east and southern Africa, and currently dominates transmission in many parts of Tanzania. Previous research has identified its preference for specific aquatic habitats, especially those that persist in dry months. This suggests the potential for targeted control through precise habitat mapping and ch...
