Abstract

To investigate the effect of the type of neighborhoods on the population structure and dynamics of mosquitoes. The adult population dynamics and larvae breeding of mosquitoes in four different types of neighborhoods were investigated in Yangzhou City. The number of trapped mosquitoes was the largest in the urban villages, and more than 800 adult mosquitoes were trapped in each urban village, which was significantly higher than that of ordinary and high quality residences.Aedes albopictusandCulex pipiens pallenswere dominant species (D > 10%) in the four types of residential areas, andAe. albopictuswas the most dominant species (D > 57%). The peak occurrence ofAe. albopictusin different areas occurred in early June, and it occurred again in the urban village in the middle of September. The occurrence quantity ofCx. pipiens pallenswas stable in the ordinary residence and high quality residence, while in the urban village and resettlement residential area, the peak occurred in mid-October. The orders of positive rates, densities and the numbers of mosquitoes in the different types of residential areas were:the urban villages> the resettlement residence> the ordinary residence> the high quality residence. The water vat had the high...Continue Reading
