Land-use classes were created from a LANDSAT 7 ETM+ image acquired on 10 September 2002; aAreas are indicated in hectares (% of total area). b The number of sites (% of sites) containing larvae of each species of mosquitoes are indicated for each land-use. Mosquitoes collected during August-September 2003. For each of the 2 study areas significant correlation coefficients at the 0.05 level (2 tailed) are indicated by the same capital letters for Land-use, Area and mosquito species.
