Characterizing larval breeding sites: chemical volatiles in Rabai,
Kenya
The volatile profiles of 31 larval breeding sites in Rabai were
summarized in Figure 3. There were substantial variations in the
chemical composition of samples, both within habitats and across
habitats. GC-MS analysis identified a total of 29 chemical compounds.
The majority of them were shared across different habitats, but a few
chemicals were unique to either forest or domestic habitat across more
than one larval breeding sites (Figure 3, top five rows and bottom five
rows).
