■疟疾传播的管理在很大程度上依赖于病媒控制。实施和维持有效的控制措施需要定期监测疟疾病媒发生,物种丰度和分布。该研究评估了蚊子幼虫的物种组成,卡卡梅加县的分布和生产力,肯尼亚西部。
■在卡卡梅加县的各种水生栖息地和土地利用类型中对按蚊幼虫进行了横断面调查,2019年3月至6月之间的肯尼亚西部高地。
■一千个,在各种土地利用类型中采样了五百七十六个水生生境。An的平均密度。冈比亚s.l(46.2),A.funestus(5.3),A.coustani(1.7),A.内联(0.13)和安。在鱼塘中观察到squamosus(2.0),洞穴坑,排水沟,和轮胎痕迹,分别。An的高平均密度。冈比亚s.l在农田中报告(20.4),而An的平均丰度很高。funestuss.l(8.2)和An。在人工林中观察到coustanis.l(4.0)。
■研究表明,按蚊幼虫的生产力在各种栖息地类型和土地利用类型之间有所不同。因此,潜在繁殖地点的治疗应被视为卡卡梅加县疟疾病媒控制的另一项战略,肯尼亚西部。
UNASSIGNED: Management of malaria transmission relies heavily on vector control. Implementation and sustenance of effective control measures require regular monitoring of malaria vector occurrences, species abundance and distribution. The study assessed mosquito larval species composition, distribution and productivity in Kakamega County, western Kenya.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional survey of Anopheline larvae was conducted in various aquatic habitats and land use types in Kakamega County, highlands of western Kenya between the month of March and June 2019.
UNASSIGNED: One thousand, five hundred and seventy six aquatic habitats were sampled in various land use types. The mean densities of An. gambiae s.l (46.2), An. funestus (5.3), An. coustani (1.7), An. implexus (0.13) and An. squamosus (2.0) were observed in fish ponds, burrow pits, drainage ditches, and tire tracks, respectively. High mean densities of An. gambiae s.l was reported in farmland (20.4) while high mean abundance of An. funestus s.l (8.2) and An. coustani s.l (4.0) were observed in artificial forests.
UNASSIGNED: The study revealed that the productivity of anopheles larvae varied across various habitat types and land use types. Therefore, treatment of potential breeding sites should be considered as an additional strategy for malaria vector control in Kakamega County, western Kenya.
