Characteristics of Larval Anopheline (Diptera: Culicidae) Habitats in Western Kenya.
(PubMed, 2001-03)
A longitudinal survey of mosquito larval habitats was carried out in Asembo Bay, western Kenya, during the rainy season of 1998. All pools of standing water along a 700-m transect were sampled twice per week. For each ...
Evaluating Genetic Differentiation of Anopheles Arabiensis in Relation to Larval Habitats in Kenya.
(PubMed, 2007)
Anopheles arabiensis, an important vector of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa shows great versatility in utilizing a broad range of larval habitats. Most studies on the population genetic structure of this species have focused ...
Status of Insecticide Susceptibility in Anopheles Arabiensis from Mwea Rice Irrigation Scheme, Central Kenya.
(PubMed, 2006-06)
BACKGROUND:
Control of the Anopheline mosquito vectors of malaria by use of insecticides has been shown to impact on both morbidity and mortality due to this disease. Evidence of insecticide resistance in different ...
Status of Insecticide Susceptibility in Anopheles Gambiae Sensu Lato and Anopheles Funestus Mosquitoes from Western Kenya.
(PubMed, 2008)
The status of resistance was investigated in Anopheles gambiae sensu lato and An. funestus (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes from western Kenya to four classes of insecticides approved by World Health Organization for indoor ...
Spatial and Temporal Variation in the Kdr Allele L1014S in Anopheles Gambiae s.s. and Phenotypic Variability in Susceptibility to Insecticides in Western Kenya.
(PubMed, 2011-01)
BACKGROUND:
Malaria vector control in Africa depends upon effective insecticides in bed nets and indoor residual sprays. This study investigated the extent of insecticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae s.l., Anopheles ...
Microgeographic Genetic Differentiation of Anopheles Gambiae Mosquitoes from Asembo Bay, Western Kenya: A Comparison with Kilifi in Coastal Kenya.
(PubMed, 1998-01)
Microgeographic differentiation in Anopheles gambiae from seven villages less than 10 km apart in Asembo Bay, western Kenya was estimated by analysis of variability in seven microsatellite loci. Results from the Asembo Bay ...
Evaluation of Potential Role of Anopheles Ziemanni in Malaria Transmission in Western Kenya.
(PubMed, 2006-07)
Observations of considerable numbers of Anopheles ziemanni Grunberg resting inside human dwellings in Ahero, western Kenya, raised the question of its status in malaria transmission. To address this question, samples of ...
Pupal Habitat Productivity of Anopheles gambiae Complex Mosquitoes in a Rural Village in Western Kenya.
(The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2006)
The productivity of larval habitats of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae for pupae (the stage preceding adult metamorphosis) is poorly known, yet adult emergence from habitats is the primary determinant of vector density. ...
Infections of Anopheles Gambiae Mosquitoes with Plasmodium Oocysts and its Effects on Highland Malaria in Kisii Town and its Surroundings
(Science and Education Publishing, 2013)
Malaria is a serious threat to human life in sub-Saharan Africa, claiming many lives and causing the greatest morbidity as compared to other infectious diseases. Female Anopheles gambiae mosquito acts as the definitive ...
Identification and sequence characterization of novel Theileria genotypes from the waterbuck (Kobus defassa) in a Theileria parva-endemic area in Kenya
(Elsevier, 2014)
Waterbuck (Kobus defassa), an ungulate species endemic to the Eastern African savannah, is suspected of being a wildlife reservoir for tick-transmitted parasites infective to livestock. Waterbuck is infested by large numbers ...
