Bionomics and distribution of malaria vectors in Kisumu city, Western Kenya: implications for urban malaria transmission
The study highlights a shift in Anopheles diversity towards urban areas with increased outdoor activity and outdoor malaria transmission in rural and peri-urban areas, underscoring the need for tools targeting outdoor-biting mosquitoes. The presence of An. funestus in urban settings emphasizes the need for sustained entomological surveillance to inform integrated vector control.
