Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2020 Anthropic activities, mainly deforestation, have produced rapid transformation of land cover types in the Urabá region at northwest Colombia. Land cover alterations impact the abundance and composition of the Anophelinae community, affecting malaria transmission dynamics. Therefore, this study used landscape metrics to evaluate the relationship of land
