The Environmental and agricultural factors that regulate Malaria Vector Productivity and Diversity in Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kirinyaga District, Kenya

Abstract:

Malaria continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Kenya, with the transmission caused by mainly Anopheles gambiae funestus complexes. It is a serious threat to the social and economic advancement of the country. In this study, Field and laboratory studies were used to examine the primary factors responsible for regulating the aquatic stages of malaria vectors and the abundance and diversity of no-mosquito invertebrates in rice fields. The temporal and spatial productivity of habitats for Anopheles species were analyzed for statistical correlations to various environmental variables.
