ABSTRACT Groundwater recharge is an important element in ensuring the sustainability of groundwater reservoirs. Unfortunately, its spatial distribution patterns and volume are influenced by climate land use/land cover changes. This article uses WetSpass-M model to assess impacts changes on Kiryandongo area. Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator-8 (LARS-WG8) was calibrated used downscale future climatic variables from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase-6. The downscaled...

Abstract The biological larvicide Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) is used worldwide to control reproduction of mosquitoes in freshwater habitats. However, its impact on the ecosystem including nontarget species often unclear. In addition, it unknown how Bti may interact with local mosquito predators shape oviposition site selection mosquitoes. We an outdoor mesocosm experiment investigate effects realistic concentrations bio‐larvicide Culex oviposition, larval density,...

In sub–Saharan Africa, Tanzania is one of the countries global significance for biodiversity conservation. However, some plants in Tanzania, including Aloe species, are critically endangered. Tanzanian endangered aloes have generally limited distribution ranges and represented by very small populations wild. Knowledge about their conservation, distribution, ecology population status also country. We carried out field surveys to assess ecological habitat (CEAs) i.e. boscawenii, flexilifolia,...

In many areas, the main sources of mosquito vectors are not natural habitats but small artificial water bodies that provided unintentionally by humans. Such container have been linked to outbreaks dengue fever and other arboviral diseases. However, in parts world possible risks associated with assessed. Here, we focused on a human population expansion area northern Tanzania high incidence cases fever. We explored importance anthropogenic for production Lake Manyara Basin. also assessed how...
