A study on malaria vector bionomics was carried out in Abagana community, Anambra State,
Southeastern Nigeria, between April and August 2012. Mosquito larvae breeding sites were determined using simple
larval collection methods of ladle, sieves and bowl. Man biting adult mosquitoes were collected using pyrethrum
knockdown method. A total of 177 mosquito larvae were collected from 49 sampling sites made up of ground pools
17(9.60%), used vehicle tyres 19(10.73%) and domestic containers 13(7.34%). Of the 177 larvae collected,
64(36.16%) were collected from ground pools, 73(41.24%) were collected from used vehicle tyres, and 40(22.59%)
from domestic containers. A. gambiae larvae were collected from ground pools 67(32.85%) and domestic containers
4(2.26%). A total of 152 indoor resting and biting adult mosquitoes were collected and A. gambiae were 95(62.5%)
with a room density of 5.3 mosquitoes per man per night. A. gambiae was observed to be breeding and biting in all
the villages of the community were at risk of acquiring malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases. Self protection
by the individuals and general provision of mosquito control strategies in the community were suggested.
