| Summary: | The aims of this project were to identify the vectors of P. knowlesi and other malaria parasites in Kapit and to study their bionomics. A one year entomological study was undertaken with three areas chosen as adult mosquito collection sites; a longhouse, where indoor and outdoor collections were undertaken, a farm and the forest, where an elevated platform for money bait trap was also built. The methods of collection were the bare-leg catch and the monkey baited-net trap. |
