Overview

This observational study reveals factors influencing the distribution and abundance of malaria vectors, suggesting increased risk in rainy seasons.

Key Points

  • The study found significant seasonal abundance of Anopheles mosquitoes, particularly during the rainy season.
  • Of the 176 collected Anopheles mosquitoes, 91.8% were identified as Anopheles gambiae, highlighting a dominant species presence.
  • Vector sampling involved 60 randomly selected households, using pyrethrum spray catch for collection and morphological identification.
  • Findings indicate higher indoor temperatures and humidity during the rainy season may contribute to increased malaria transmission risks.
