Diversity of mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) vectors in a heterogeneous landscape endemic for arboviruses.
DISCUSSION: The paper discusses the impact of human activities on landscape and its effects on mosquito populations, focusing on the segregation of different known vector species and their proximity to human altered environments. Most of these species are known arbovirus vectors and knowledge of their distribution are key elements that health authorities should take into account when planning arbovirus surveillance and vector control activities.
