there are some arboviral and parasitic diseases which are transmitted by culicine mosquitoes in iran. three genera and eleven species of the subfamily culicinae (diptera: culicidae) were collected by dipping method and identified in kahnooj district, kerman province, south-eastern iran, during october and november, 2003 including; culex (culex) bitaeniorhynchus, cx. (maillotia) deserticola, cx....

The tribe Aedini (Family Culicidae) contains approximately one-quarter of the known species of mosquitoes, including vectors of deadly or debilitating disease agents. This tribe contains the genus Aedes, which is one of the three most familiar genera of mosquitoes. During the past decade, Aedini has been the focus of a series of extensive morphology-based phylogenetic studies published by Reine...

BACKGROUND Anopheles sinensis (Diptera: Culicidae) is a primary vector of Plasmodium vivax and Brugia malayi in most regions of China. In addition, its phylogenetic relationship with the cryptic species of the Hyrcanus Group is complex and remains unresolved. Mitochondrial genome sequences are widely used as molecular markers for phylogenetic studies of mosquito species complexes, of which mito...

The present paper aims at evaluating the distribution pattern of Culicidae immature stages and relationship with their potential insect predators in Taksebt Dam, Algeria. surveys temporary permanent habitats this dam using dipping technique allowed us to identify 13 mosquito species belonging four genera a clear dominance Cx. pipiens perexiguus. Predators larvae were abundant 11 families three ...

Following the expansion of invasive mosquito Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) through Spain along Mediterranean coast, surveillance was established in Gibraltar 2016. This paper reports on first detection Ae. 2017 as well subsequent efforts to monitor establishment species, including longitudinal data over several years since 2018, and results a snapshot survey 2021 adult density. has beco...
