Invasive alien plant litter influences larval density, size and survival of Culex spp.

The data were collected as part of a project entitled: Linking socio-ecological transformation and arthropod borne diseases. It explores the links between land-use changes and diseases in livestock species by studying various biotic (e.g. cattle density, disease infection rates, vector species composition, abundance of invasive plants, vegetation structure and diversity) and abiotic (temperature, rainfall and humidity, also in respect to climate change) factors, as well as taking into account the socio-cultural behaviour of pastoralists.This project is supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG), through funding for the project “Future Infections” as part of the Collaborative Research Center “Future Rural Africa”. The project also receives partial support from the CGIAR One Health initiative “Protecting Human Health Through a One Health Approach”, which is supported by contributors to the CGIAR Trust Fund (https://www.cgiar.org/funders/).
