摘要

Comprehensive knowledge on vector dynamics is lacking in Botswana and yet essential for effective indoor residual spraying. This study assessed some of the entomological indices that contribute to malaria transmission by an indoor-resting population of Anopheles arabiensis Patton (Diptera: Culicidae) in Tubu village, Okavango subdistrict. The pyrethroid space-spray technique and hut searches were used to sample mosquitoes. Species and bloodmeal source identification were done using the polymerase chain reaction techniques. The infective status was determined by the enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay test. The human blood indices (HBI), human-biting rates (HBR), and vector densities were computed. Anopheles arabiensis was the sole vector and member of the Anopheles gambiae Giles complex identified. Significant changes in vector densities were observed over seasons, while nonsignificant differences were observed among the huts (P>0.05). The main source of bloodmeal was cattle (46.8% [65]). There were no significant differences in HBI (P>0.05) and HBR (P>0.05) between the seasons. All the 271 mosquitoes tested for sporozoite infection were negative. The results showed that seasonal variations in vector densities corresponded to the traditional malaria and nonmalaria seasons. The vector population was relatively more zoophagic. The HBI and HBR were not influenced by the seasons. None of the endophilic mosquitoes tested (N = 271) was positive for sporozoites. Our study provided some relevant basic information to the local malaria control program that may be used to strategize their operations if malaria elimination has to be achieved by 2017.
