Anopheline larval habitats seasonality and species distribution: a prerequisite for effective targeted larval habitats control programmes.
Larval control is of paramount importance in the reduction of malaria vector abundance and subsequent disease transmission reduction. Understanding larval habitat succession and its ecology in different land use managements and cropping systems can give an insight for effective larval source managem...
