疟疾病媒冈比亚按蚊幼虫栖息地对蛹（成虫变态前的阶段）的生产力知之甚少，但成虫从栖息地出现是病媒密度的主要决定因素。为了评估它，我们使用绝对抽样方法在四项研究中，涉及每天采样25天，在6个栖息地类型在肯尼亚西部的一个村庄。冈比亚按蚊包括82.5%的羽化成虫和阿拉伯按蚊。蛹生产发生在一个子集的栖息地，主要是土壤洞穴坑，并在时间上是不连续的，即使幼虫占据所有栖息地连续。栖息地的稳定性与蛹的生产力呈正相关。在旱季，蛹的生产力分布在河床的洞穴坑和水池之间。总的来说，这些数据支持的概念，减少污染源的措施，对公认的生产性栖息地将是一个有用的组成部分，一个综合管理计划的一个。在村庄里获得。
The productivity of larval habitats of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae for pupae (the stage preceding adult metamorphosis) is poorly known, yet adult emergence from habitats is the primary determinant of vector density. To assess it, we used absolute sampling methods in four studies involving daily sampling for 25 days in 6 habitat types in a village in western Kenya. Anopheles gambiae s.s. comprised 82.5% of emergent adults and Anopheles arabiensis the remainder. Pupal production occurred from a subset of habitats, primarily soil burrow pits, and was discontinuous in time, even when larvae occupied all habitats continuously. Habitat stability was positively associated with pupal productivity. In a dry season, pupal productivity was distributed between burrow pits and pools in streambeds. Overall, these data support the notion that source reduction measures against recognizably productive habitats would be a useful component of an integrated management program for An. gainbiae in villages.
