An updated checklist of 235 mosquito species from Madagascar is presented. The number of species has increased considerably compared to previous checklists, particularly the last published in 2003 (178 species). This annotated checklist provides concise information on endemism, taxonomic position, developmental stages, larval habitats, distribution, behavior, and vector-borne diseases potential...

Globally mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) represent a real public health problem especially those transmitted via Aedes mosquitoes. Among these vittatus Bigot plays an important role in the transmission of some arboviruses viz yellow fever, dengue Zika, and chikungunya viruses. Several regions Sudan suffered from Aedes-borne diseases, fever. Entomological surveys were conducted Kassala State, eas...

Since a 1988-89 survey of northern New Zealand revealed no additions to the known mosquito fauna, this country's used tire importations have much increased. Relevant entomological quarantine was thus monitored in a November 1992-January 1993 Auckland project, during which almost 1/3 of 8,549 casings from Japan proved wet on inspection. In this study and at 2 South Island ports afterwards, 5 ves...

We report the discovery of Aedes nigrinus (Eckstein, 1918) in the New Forest of southern England, bringing to 36 the number of mosquito species recorded in Britain. Because it seems that this species has been misidentified previously in Britain as the morphologically similar Aedes sticticus (Meigen, 1838), the two species are contrasted and distinguished based on distinctive differences exhibit...

During the course of identifications mosquitoes collected around Finland in summer 2022 an adult Culex male from southwestern coast was immediate interest due to its noticeable morphological differences recorded fauna. Upon examination, genitalia keyed modestus, and subsequent sequences barcoding region Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) confirmed identification. This is first finding Cx. mod...

This study contributes to knowledge of Anopheles species, including vectors of Plasmodium from the western Brazilian Amazon in Porto Velho, Rondônia State. The sampling area has undergone substantial environmental changes as a consequence of agricultural and hydroelectric projects, which have caused intensive deforestation and favored habitats for some mosquito species. The purpose of this stud...

Recent years have seen the greatest ecological disturbances of our times, with global human expansion, species and habitat loss, climate change, and the emergence of new and previously-known infectious diseases. Biodiversity loss affects infectious disease risk by disrupting normal relationships between hosts and pathogens. Mosquito-borne pathogens respond to changing dynamics on multiple trans...

Surveillance of the actual distribution of mosquito species in Northern Europe is fundamental for evaluating risk for emerging pathogens, and for research on potential vectors. The Swedish mosquito fauna composition and geographic distribution, originally described by Professor Christine Dahl in the 1970 ́s, included 43 species. We have compiled the information published from 1978 to 2012, and o...

Mosquitoes and the pathogens they transmit are ubiquitous throughout most of the temperate and tropical regions of the world. The natural and pre-European distribution and diversity of mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases throughout much of the Pacific region, however, depicts a depauperate and relatively benign fauna reinforcing the dream of “paradise regained”. In the central and South Paci...

The present investigation conducted to determine the diversity of mosquito fauna in two ecologically different regions Rajasthan i.e., Kota and Barmer. is south-eastern region while Barmer situated western part Rajasthan. study was carried out over a period one year. adult collected by using aspirator, BG -Sentinal trap larval stages were ladle dipping method. Total 1258 species reported 1450 f...
