Implications for malaria transmission: a cross-sectional study on the bionomics and susceptibility of local malaria vectors in urban and periurban settings of Ndola district
The emergence of <i>An. funestus s.s</i> in an area previously dominated by <i>An. gambiae s.s</i> and its coexistence with <i>An. gambiae s.s</i> in the dry season pose a risk of sustaining malaria transmission all year round. Agricultural practices in urban areas resulted in highly productive mosquito breeding sites; thus, there is a need for targeted vector control.
