Abstract
Mark-release-recapture techniques were used to determine the extent of dispersal of domestic Aedes aegypti within and between Rabai villages on the Kenya coast. Most intravillage dispersal occurred within 20 m of release, with a high recovery within release houses throughout a 12-day collection period. Dispersal was independent of adult age for both sexes. Intervillage dispersal dropped off sharply beyond 200 m. Predominant dispersal into the village came from the downwind direction.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
