Bionomics and distribution of malaria vectors in Kisumu city, Western Kenya: Implications for urban malaria transmission  

2024Open accessKenyatta University

Abstract

The study highlights a shift of diversity of <i>Anopheles</i> species towards urban areas with increased outdoor activity, and significant outdoor malaria transmission in rural and peri-urban areas, emphasizing the need for tools targeting outdoor-biting mosquitoes. The presence of <i>An. funestus</i> in urban settings is of interest and highlights the critical importance of sustained entomological surveillance to inform integrated vector control and prevent future transmission risks.
