The ecology of mosquito larvae was investigated in different localities in Cairo representing different levels of urban planning. Sampling frames were obtained by using a geographic information system (GIS) to subdivide satellite images of the study areas.

This is important for planning a relevant and effective mosquito control programs.…mehr
