*3.1.4 Vegetation*

Mosquitoes will rest in houses after feeding if there is no outdoor resting site. Vegetation increases outdoor resting sites and mosquito abundance, and type of species could relate to type of vegetation cover [19]. For example, it has been reported that *Anopheles arabiensis,* a malaria vector in Nigeria, predominates in the arid savanna, while *An. gambiae ss* is a forest-loving vector. *An. arabiensis* has been identified in deforested areas within forested areas in urban areas [6, 9].
