I have read several journals on bionomics of malaria vectors according to the my research, but I have not found an appropriate understanding of the bionomics, whether it is the same as the behavior bionomics vector?
Bionomics refers to the ecological setup of a particular organism in relation to its environment. Bionomics of Anopheles mosquitoes refers to the branch of biology which deals with the relations between different Anopheles mosquitoes species and their corresponding environments.
Here, we are talking about things like the food chain, food cycle, food web of Anopheles mosquitoes with respect to other organisms within its environment among others. It is interesting to note that Anopheles mosquitoes are affected by temperature and also weather parameters within its environment.
To a large extent the survival of Anopheles mosquitoes can be determined by different environmental factors; so also is the vectorial capacity of these vectors.
Having said these, it is interesting to note that Anopheles mosquitoes assume behaviours or new behavioural patterns in response to environmental and climatic factors within their environments.
So it is possible for bionomics of Anopheles to be strongly correlated with the behavioural pattern of such vectors.
In addition of the above with regard to Anopheles mosquitoes bionomics can be assessed in terms of vector population variation with time and space (seasonality ).Its useful for the estimation of disease transmission efficiency. The bionomics of the Anopheles can be used to make a decision of when is efficient transmission season and also time for appropriate personal protection tool. Bionomics can be useful for the understanding of disease vector abundant determinants when well studied with integration of landscape, weather (temperature, humidity and rainfall), hydrological factor and human activities can lead to a better way of disease control.
Hi Olugbenga and Eliningaya, thankyou so much for youre answer, it was very helpfull for me, because I am currently doing research on this theme.
Now I understand the point that you mentioned, that I think the behavior of Anopheles mosquito bionomics is related to the environment in which life. from the research I have done, differences in environmental conditions also affect the behavior of the vector vectorial competence.
so I had to get enlightenment from your answer, thank you very much Olugbenga and Eliningaya
