Resumo: Larvae of A. gambiae were most abundant in nursery rice while among older, denser plants C. antennatus was the dominant species. In ecologically similar microhabitats in the unmodified area, A. gambiae was the dominant species although 4 times less abundant than in young rice. Birds were abundant in the rice, particularly heron, stork and ibis. Rodents, particularly Arvicanthus niloticus and Mastomys natalensis were common. Viruses were isolated from M. uniformis, M. africana and A. gambiae and antibodies to o'nyong-nyong, chikungunya and Nyando viruses found in sera from school children
