Comparative entomological study on ecology and behaviour of Anopheles mosquitoes in highland and lowland localities of Derashe District southern Ethiopia

摘要

BackgroundChange in climatic and socio-economic situations is paving the way for the spread of malaria in highland areas which were generally known to be malaria free. Despite this, information regarding highland malaria transmission is scarce. Thus, the present study investigated entomological parameters linked to malaria transmission in the highlands of Southern Ethiopia.
