通过抽样调查，共发现冈比亚按蚊6类104个水生生境。肯尼亚西部一个村庄的幼虫，即洞穴、排水沟、牲畜蹄印、雨池、轮胎印和河床中的水池。大多数栖息地是由人类活动创造的，在村庄景观中高度聚集在分散的格局中。景观分析显示，在村庄上空叠加的47个0.09公里(2)的单元中，有6个容纳了65%的栖息地。专题小组讨论和与村民的深入访谈，揭示了村民对幼虫栖息地、当地环境中蚊子来源的了解程度，以及可以采取哪些措施来防止蚊子滋生。与会者没有将特定的栖息地与按蚊幼虫联系起来，表示不愿消除栖息地，因为它们是家庭供水的来源，但表示如果有支持，愿意参加减少水源计划。
A sampling census revealed 104 aquatic habitats of 6 types for Anopheles gambiae s.l. larvae in a village in western Kenya, namely burrow pits, drainage channels, livestock hoof prints, rain pools, tire tracks, and pools in streambeds. Most habitats were created by human activity and were highly clustered in dispersion pattern within the village landscape. Landscape analysis revealed that six of forty-seven 0.09 km(2) cells superimposed over the village harbored 65% of all habitats. Focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with villagers revealed the extent of knowledge of the village residents of larval habitats, mosquito sources in the local environment, and what might be done to prevent mosquito breeding. Participants did not associate specific habitats with anopheline larvae, expressed reluctance to eliminate habitats because they were sources of domestic water supply, but indicated willingness to participate in a source reduction program if support were available.
