Anopheles stephensi larval habitats

Anopheles stephensi generally inhabits containers such as wells, drums, and other water storage containers (Photos a, b, d, e) (Thomas et al. 2016, Balkew et al. 2020). But An. stephensi larvae can also be found in less “typical sites” such as ponds along rivers, sewage overflows, or flooded areas (Photo c, f). When conducting a rapid survey, typical larvae sites can be targeted, but for more thorough surveys, all sites should be inspected.
