Description
The authors were Ibrahima Baber, Moussa Keita, Nafomon Sogoba, and others. Their 2010 PLOS ONE study counted malaria mosquitoes in Mali. They ran two mark-release-recapture surveys in 2008, in wet and dry seasons. Villages studied included Fourda, a fishing village by the Niger River, and Kenieroba, both with many Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes.
From recaptures, they estimated population size and how far mosquitoes migrate. Those numbers decide how vector control, like spraying or bed nets, should be spaced and timed. Efficient control of the malaria mosquito depends on knowing how populations move between villages.
