摘要: Background Members of the Anopheles gambiae complex are main transmitters malaria. merus is a member found along Kenyan coast because it breeds in saline waters. An entomological study was conducted Garithe Malindi District, to investigate physicochemical and environmental factors affecting distribution An. merus.
