Item A supervised land cover classification of a western Kenya lowland endemic for human malaria: associations of land cover with larval Anopheles habitats(2012-10-16) Mutuku, F. M.; Bayoh, M. N.; Hightower, A. W.; Vulule, J.M.; Gimnig, J.E.; Mueke, J. M.; Amimo, F.A; Walker, E.DA supervised land cover classification was developed from very high resolution IKONOS satellite data and extensive ground truth sampling of a ca. 10 sq km malaria-endemic lowland in western Kenya. The classification was then applied to an investigation of distribution of larval Anopheles habitats. The hypothesis was that the distribution and abundance of aquatic habitats of larvae of various species of mosquitoes in the genus Anopheles is associated with identifiable landscape features.
