幼虫来源管理是综合控制和消灭疟疾的一个有希望的组成部分。这就需要制定一个框架，通过对生境水文学和地貌学的基于过程的理解，以生产地点为目标。 我们进行了第一次集水区尺度的研究，精细分辨率的空间和时间变化，在疟疾传播率高的坦桑尼亚地区的降雨，水文和地貌的按蚊栖息地和生产力。降雨量、河流水位和地下水位的月累积量与媒介幼虫的丰度没有显著相关。然而，这些指标显示出很强的解释力，以预测蚊子幼虫丰度分层后的水体类型，具有明确的季节性趋势，为每个定义的基础上，其地貌环境和起源。水文和地貌过程的可用性和生产力的按蚊繁殖栖息地需要了解在当地规模的幼虫源管理的实施，以有效地针对幼虫源的干预措施。绘制和监测这些过程是一种行之有效的做法，为开发重要的疟疾管理工具提供了一条易于掌握的前进道路。
Larval source management is a promising component of integrated malaria control and elimination. This requires development of a framework to target productive locations through process-based understanding of habitat hydrology and geomorphology. We conducted the first catchment scale study of fine resolution spatial and temporal variation in Anopheles habitat and productivity in relation to rainfall, hydrology and geomorphology for a high malaria transmission area of Tanzania. Monthly aggregates of rainfall, river stage and water table were not significantly related to the abundance of vector larvae. However, these metrics showed strong explanatory power to predict mosquito larval abundances after stratification by water body type, with a clear seasonal trend for each, defined on the basis of its geomorphological setting and origin. Hydrological and geomorphological processes governing the availability and productivity of Anopheles breeding habitat need to be understood at the local scale for which larval source management is implemented in order to effectively target larval source interventions. Mapping and monitoring these processes is a well-established practice providing a tractable way forward for developing important malaria management tools.
