Aquatic habitats of the malaria vector, Anopheles funestus in rural south-eastern Tanzania

2020-06-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> In rural south-eastern Tanzania, Anopheles funestus is a major malaria vector, and has been implicated in nearly 90% of all infective bites. Unfortunately, little is known about the natural ecological requirements and survival strategies of this mosquito species. <h4>Methods: </h4> Potential mosquito aquatic habitats were systematically searched along 1000 m transects from the centres of six...
