Predatory capacity of a shorefly, Ochthera chalybescens, on malaria vectors
Abstract Background Since Ochthera chalybescens had been reported to prey on African malaria vectors, the predatory capacity of adults of this species on Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto was explored.Method Predatory capacity of this fly on A.gambiae s.s.was tested at all developmental stages, including the adult stage in the laboratory setting.Effe
