Mosquitoes were caught indoors using pyrethrum spray catches twice monthly during the hours of 7.00am and 10.00am. Species were morphologically identified: Anopheles gambiae, An. funestus, (malaria transmitting vectors) and other mosquitoe species. Only malaria transmitting vectors were dissected and processed for transmission indices. Of 1,224 mosquitoes, malara transmitting vectors (Anopheles gambiae and An. funestus) represented 34.88% and 27.94 while non-malaria transmitting vectors (Aedes and Culex species) represented 37.17%. More mosquitoes were caught during rainy season than during the dry season (66.99% and 33.00%). The month of July had the highest mosquito density and parity (27.69%). Of the 509 Anopheles mosquitoes species dissected, 509 were blood fed while 6(1.17%) were positive. The study recorded a Sporozoite Infection Rate (SR) of (1.17) and Entomological Inoculation Rates (EIR) was (0021%) per person per night. Malaria risk indices in the study area is highlighted.

The study also investigated related knowledge and perception on the mosquito-borne diseases. Indoor resting mosquitoes were collected using pyrethrum knock down (PKD) and mechanical aspirator (MA) methods once a week between 7.00am and 11.00am. Human bait method was also used. Species were morphologically identified as Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, Anopheles gambiae, Anopheles funestus, Culex quinquefasciatus and Culex horridus. The female blood fed mosquitoes were dissected for parity and infectivity status assessed. A total of 315 mosquitoes representing 3 genera; Culex, Aedes and Anopheles were encountered. Of these, Anopheles species (45.1%) were the most abundant followed by Aedes (39.3%) while Culex species were the least (15.6%). Only 3.5% of Anopheles contained larvae of W. bancrofti and (5.80%) had Plasmodium infection. There is no significant difference (X 2 = 21.74; P<0.05) in the relative abundance of indoor and outdoor species. The implications of these results are discussed.
