Full description
Background: While human malaria transmission in Indonesia has declined, transmission of zoonotic Plasmodium knowlesi is increasing. This study examined the larval habitats of the malaria vectors in North Sumatra to assess the potential of larval source management as a control strategy for both human and zoonotic malaria vectors. Methods: Larval habitat surveys were conducted over two years in Ujung Bandar Village, Salapian Subdistrict, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra, an area with both human and zoonotic (P. knowlesi) malaria cases. Larval habitats were characterised by larval presence and density, land use type, aquatic habitat class (i.e. naturally occurring, man-made from natural materials or man-made from artificial materials), and habitat subclass (the different specific habitats such as streams, ditches, etc.), characterising them by a range of abiotic and biotic characteristics.
