Study of Malaria Vectors Density Using Artificial Breeding Container in Yola-South L.G.A of Adamawa State
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 5
Abstract
Mosquitoes are vectors for many pathogens with catastropic effects on global heath. A total of 1806 mosquitoes were sampled from earthen pots and examined under a microscope. Distribution of malaria vectors density by sites of location revealed that Mbamba Mission had a total malaria vector density distribution of 0.47(27.98%), Mopol Barrack, 0.37(22.02%), Upper Benue Staff Quarters 0.16(9.52%), Rumde Jabbe,0.33(20.00%) and Anguwan Fulani,0.35(20.83%). Mbamba Mission had the highest, malaria vector density while Upper Benue staff Quarters had the lowest. However a statistical analysis showed no significant difference in the distribution of malaria vector density based on location in the study area (p=0.199). Distribution of malaria vectors density according to months revealed that month of July had a total malaria vectors density distribution of 0.65(38.69%), August, 0.68(40.48%) and September, 0.35(20.83%) and there was a significant difference in the distribution of malaria vector density based on months (p=0.047). The distribution of malaria vector density based on their abdominal condition revealed that freshly blood fed malaria vectors had density distribution was 0.48(28.57%), gravid, 0.43(25.59%), half-gravid, 0.46(27.38%) and unblood fed, 0.31(18.45%). However there was no significant difference in the distribution of malaria vector density based on abdominal condition in the study area (p=0.775)
