Laboratory tests of oviposition by the African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, on dark soil as influenced by presence or absence of vegetation

Juan Huang, Edward D Walker, Philip E Otienoburu, Fred Amimo, John Vulule, James R Miller Malaria Journal 2006, 5:88 (12 October 2006)

Experimental data on oviposition behaviour of malaria vector suggesting that, unlike other species, Anopheles gambiae only lays eggs on grass when no bare soil is available.

Daily temperature profiles in and around Western Kenyan larval habitats of Anopheles gambiae as related to egg mortality

Juan Huang, Edward D Walker, John Vulule, James R Miller Malaria Journal 2006, 5:87 (12 October 2006)

The authors present data on a rarely explored field of research in medical entomology : the survival of anopheline eggs depending on temperature. The findings are of importance to better understand the ecology of major vectors.
