Socio-Demographic Characteristics of Malaria Vector and Prevention Measures in Elobied, West of Sudan
Keywords:
Mosquitoes, Anopheles arabiensis, characteristics, malariaAbstract
A transversal survey was conducted in Elobied, North Kordofan State, Sudan to evaluate the knowledge of the respondents about malaria vector and its relation with house characteristics, demographic characteristics and prevention measures.Most of the respondents reported that mosquito bite the main factor for causes malaria, most of interviewed lived in brackets houses while others in shanty houses and the majority of the respondents use bed nets. The study concluded that establishment of Anopheles arabiensis in the study area related to the type of house construction and stagnant water. The uses of bed nets are the most methods for personal protection against mosquitoes.
