摘 要：Background:Vector-borne diseases are increasingly becoming a major health problem among communities living along the major rivers of *** larger water bodies such as lakes and dams have been extensively researched,rivers and their tributaries have largely been *** study sought to establish the spatial distribution of mosquito species during the dry season and further characterize their habitats along the Mara River and its ***:In this cross-sectional survey,mosquito larvae were sampled along the Mara River,its two perennial tributaries(Amala and Nyangores),drying streams,and adjacent aquatic habitats(***,puddles that receive direct sunlight[open sunlit puddles],rock pools,hippo and livestock hoof prints,and vegetated pools).Each habitat was dipped 20 times using a standard *** between breeding sites and human habitation was determined using global positioning system *** collected mosquito larvae were identified using standard taxonomic *** physico-chemical parameters were measured in situ using a multiparameter *** mosquito larvae per habitat type were compared using analysis of variance and chi-square tests,while the relationship between mosquito larvae and physicochemical parameters was evaluated using a generalized linear mixed *** Cox-Stuart test was used to detect trends of mosquito larvae *** test allowed for verification of monotonic tendency(rejection of null hypothesis of trend absence)and its ***:A total of 4001 mosquito larvae were collected,of which 2712(67.8%)were collected from river/stream edge habitats and 1289(32.2%)were sampled from aquatic habitats located in the terrestrial ecosystem about 50 m away from the main river/*** gambiae s.s,***,and *** group,the three most potent vectors of malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa,together with other anopheline mosquitoes,were the most dominant mosquito species(70.3%)
