Larval Mosquito Counts by Species and Habitat Across Cambodia

Total number of larval mosquitoes collected across Cambodia by species and breeding habitats. The dataset distinguishes between anthropized artificial habitats, anthropized natural habitats, and natural habitats, and marks known disease vectors. It was authored by Bros Doeurk and last updated on 2026-05-18.

Use Cases

• Identify primary breeding habitats for known disease vectors based on the species marked with an asterisk.
• Compare larval abundance between anthropized and natural habitats as described.
• Analyze species distribution across specific habitat types like discarded tires, ground pools, or tree holes.

Strengths

• Data includes counts and percentages for each species within each habitat type.
• Habitat types are specifically defined (e.g., concrete containers, flower pots, ground pools).
• Known disease vectors are explicitly identified with an asterisk.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small (13.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
