Among the two study sites, a total of 5847 mosquito larvae were sampled, of which 44.75% (n= 2617) were Culex (Cx.), belonging to this species Cx. antennatus (42%) Cx. quinquefasciatus (25%) Cx. simpsoni (14%) Cx. tritaeniorhynchus (8%) Cx. theileri (5%) Cx. musarum (4%) and Cx. pipiens (2%)) and 44.46% (n= 2600) Anopheles (An.) belong to six species which were An. arabiensis (38%) An. funestus (27%), An. rufipes (24%), An. phronesis (9%), An. nili (0.5%), and An. dattali (0.5%). However, all…
