Abstract
99 words
Vegetation habitats mapping were studied in Mavumo area,
Lushoto District, Tanzania using Arc view software in order to
determine the distribution and abundance of plague reservoirs
and vectors. The land cover took into account forest (natural
and planted), cultivation, settlement, horticulture, rocky and bare
land within different landforms and altitudes. Shrerman,
wirecage and pitfall trap were used for trapping small mammals.
Fleas and mites were counted. Most of the small mammals
prefered forest but not herbaceous habitat. Trap success was
negatively correlated to total cover and location while positively
correlated to altitude and vegetation species. Altitude affected
fleas abundance.
