Fauna, Abundance, Distribution and Seasonal Activity of Anopheles Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Larval habitats
Introduction: Mosquito – borne diseases are a major public health threat in the world, including Iran. This investigation was undertaken to determine fauna, distribution, frequency and monthly activity of Anopheles larvae in Aligoudarz County. Methods: This descriptive research was carried out during April to December 1997 to study Anopheles mosquitoes fauna and seasonal activity in seven...
متن کاملSpecies specificity of acoustic signals of malarial mosquitoes of Anopheles maculipennis complex
Acoustic characteristics of three representatives of malaria mosquitoes of Palearctic complex Anopheles maculipennis: An. messeae, An. maculipennis s.s. and An. atroparvus were studied. It was found that the spectra of fundamental frequencies for males of all species is significantly higher than for females. An. atroparvus and An. maculipennis have close acoustic characteristics, which explains...
متن کاملMolecular Analysis of ITS2 Fragment among Anopheles maculipennis Species Complex, West Azerbaijan Province, Iran
Background:Anopheles maculipennis complex species is considered as one of the most important species complexes with 12 species and significant role in the transmission of important diseases such as malaria, lymphatic filariasis and multiple Arboviral infections. The aim of the present study was to analyze Internal Transcribd Spacer (ITS) 2 fragment among Anopheles ...
متن کاملVolatile substances from larval habitats mediate species-specific oviposition in Anopheles mosquitoes.
Oviposition site selection has been recognized as critical both for the survival and population dynamics of mosquitoes. Volatile substances released from larval habitats have been implicated as potential olfactory cues mediating oviposition. In our continuing studies of cues involved in oviposition site selection, we collected material from the larval habitats of Anopheles albimanus Wiedemann a...
متن کاملCharacterization of potential larval habitats for Anopheles mosquitoes in relation to urban land-use in Malindi, Kenya
BACKGROUND: This study characterized Anopheles mosquito larval habitats in relation to ecological attributes about the habitat and community-level drainage potential, and investigated whether agricultural activities within or around urban households increased the probability of water body occurrence. Malindi, a city on the coast of Kenya, was mapped using global positioning system (GPS) technol...
