Autor: Clifton Omondi, Dr. James Nonoh, Dr. Regina Ntabo

Publikováno v: European Journal of Ecology, Vol 9, Iss 2 (2023)

The breeding of malaria-spreading vectors such as Anopheles funestus is influenced by various environmental factors that contribute indirectly to the transmission of the Plasmodium parasite. However, there is limited knowledge of larval habitat ecolo

Several types of odours are involved in the location of host animals by tsetse (Diptera: Glossinidae), a vector of animal African trypanosomiasis. Host animals' ageing urine has been shown to be the source of a phenolic blend attractive to the tsetse
