Water quality assessment of mosquito breeding water localities in the Nile Valley of Giza Governorate

Giza governorate has unique characteristics which induces mosquito proliferation and thus magnified the risk of diseases transmission. In present study, entomological field surveys integrated with lab analysis were utilized to characterize water quality associated breeding habitats in Nile Valley zone governorate. Field survey was conducted for a total number 20 accessible sites during period 6th –9th December 2019. From each visited site, larvae sampled identify larval species analyze physico-chemical water. Fourteen different parameters measured including; pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP), Conductivity (EC), Turbidity, Chlorophyll, HDO, Crude Oil (CO), Salinity, OM, Phosphate ion (PO43-), Nitrate (NO3-), Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb). Spearman correlation coefficient used data analysis. A 8,435 belonging 4 representing one genus collected from fixed places. Culex pipiens dominant except two where Cx. pusillus theileri predominant. There significant positive between density perexigues salinity, nitrate, phosphate, heavy metal, that Cx phosphate is negligible. It could be concluded correlations observed physicochemical factors confirm effect these on activities mosquitoes may suggestive presence certain fauna given region.
