Description
Introduction Mosquito larval habitats are the locations where many important life-cycle processes take place: oviposition, larval development, adult emergence, resting, swarming and mating (1). Effective control of malaria through vector management requires information on the distribution and abundance of vectors in the targeted areas. Mosquito larval control is a potentially important target in malaria vector control. Source reduction through modification of larval habitats was the key to malaria eradication efforts in the United States, Italy, and Israel (2). The suppression and even eradication of malaria from vast areas has been attributed to effective large-scale programmes to kill the immature Anopheles species vectors or reduce the amount of suitable habitat for them in proximity to vulnerable human populations (3-6). The appropriate management of larval habitats during the dry season may help suppress vector densities and consequently, malaria transmission. However, our understanding of anopheline larval ecology in Africa is insufficient and this affects the design and implementation of larval control.
