Summary Background Rice fields in Africa are major breeding sites for malaria vectors.
However, when reviewed in the 1990s, in settings where transmission was relatively …

Anopheles mosquitoes are important vectors of malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF), which
are major public health diseases in Nigeria. Malaria is caused by infection with a protozoan …

BACKGROUND The fact that bats suppress agricultural pests has been measured for some
