    Abstract:
    Sixteen different ecological areas in Sharkia Governorate were surveyed for adult Culex pipiens. The prevalence was investigated among 160 houses of 2800 individuals and their surrounding outdoors. The collected adults were 41488 from October 2003 to November 2004. The collection rates were higher in the rural areas than urban ones. Mosquitoes were common all the year round except January, February and March, with peaks in summer and autumn than in spring and winter. Larvae in descending order were Cx. pipiens the predominant larva followed by Ae. caspius, Culiseta sp. and then Cx. pusillus. Cx. pipiens was described as the most common larva.
