Anopheles stephensi larval habitat superproductivity and its relevance for larval source management in Ethiopia
This study highlights the role of environmental variability in regulating An. stephensi populations and opens the window for the deployment of control strategies that exploit major mosquito population bottlenecks. The partial overlap between An. stephensi and Ae. aegypti, particularly during the dry season, point to challenges to control both species if only large containers are treated.
