Abstract
It is part of efforts of every passionate government in Africa to reduce, if not eliminate morbidity and mortality due to malaria being transmitted by female anopheles mosquito. Part of this struggle is the malaria indicator survey annually conducted by the Federal Bureau of Statistics (FBS) in Nigeria. It therefore important to communicate community based investigation and communication of entomological data vital for malaria control using appropriate statistical tools. This study generally aims to investigate seasonal abundance of Anopheles mosquito species and their compositions in some selected human settlements. The specific objective is to determine which particular specie of such Anopheles mosquitoes are most abundant and which of the human settlements requires most intervention due to high prevalence of such Anopheles.
Highlights
In most parts of the tropics, Malaria is life-threatening disease transmitted through the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito
This study presents the impact of Anopheles mosquito species on seven human settlements in Ogbomoso South, Local Government Area Council
This inference is further evident in the rejection of the null hypothesis that: on average, all the four species of Anopheles mosquito have equal abundance across the seven study areas with p-value 0.0001 reported by the Friedman Rank Sum Test (FRST)
