  • Title: Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in relation to the risk of disease transmission in El Ismailia Governorate, Egypt.
    Author: Abdel-Hamid YM, Soliman MI, Kenawy MA.
    Journal: J Egypt Soc Parasitol; 2011 Aug; 41(2):347-56. PubMed ID: 21980773.
    Abstract:
    Mosquito were surveyed (Nov. 2009 - March 2010) in El Ismailia Governorate. Nine species were reported: Culex pipiens, Cx. perexiguus, Cx. antennatus, Anopheles tenebrosus, An. pharoensis, An. multicolor, Ochlerotatus detritus, Oc. caspius and Culiseta longiareolata. Culex pipiens was the predominant species (ca. 87% larvae and 57% adults). For the 3 common species, Cx. pipiens, Cx. perexiguus, and Cx. antennatus the following were examined: (1) the type and characteristics (temperature and pH) of the breeding habitats and their relation to the larval density and (2) the relation of adult indoor density to the indoor and outdoor temperature and RH. The abundance of mosquito vectors in El Ismailia with its old history of vector transmitted diseases contributes to the risk of mosquito borne disease transmission in this area. This would assist in the control activities.
