Larval ecology of Aedes spp. mosquitoes and arbovirus transmission risk in four mid-sized cities of southern Cameroon

2026Open accessUniversity of Buea

Abstract

= 2359; 81.3%). Tires were the most common larval habitats, mostly located within 10 m of human dwellings. Kribi and Bertoua exhibited the highest container, house, and Breteau indices, suggesting high potential risk. The study supports the need for regular vector-based surveillance to control arboviral disease in Cameroon. Such studies could also provide critical information for strengthening integrated vector management.
