Ecoregional and altitudinal distribution of the principal malaria vectors in Colombia
The distribution of the principal malaria vectors in Colombia, encompasses both coastal and inland areas, and a variety of ecoregions, particularly the Chocó-Darién and Magdalena-Urabá moist forests. The comprehensive identification of ecoregions and elevations in which malaria vectors have historically been and are currently distributed will contribute to determining receptivity areas for designing malaria stratification plans and the prioritization of zones for its prevention and control.
