Malaria vector species in Amazonian Peru co-occur in larval habitats but have distinct larval microbial communities.
In Amazonian Peru, the primary malaria vector, Nyssorhynchus darlingi (formerly Anopheles darlingi), is difficult to target using standard vector control methods because it mainly feeds and rests outdoors. Larval source management could be a useful supplementary intervention, but to determine its fe...
