  • Title: [Mosquito fauna of (Diptera, Culicidae) of Schwerin District, East Germany, and their importance as pests].
    Author: Sommer SH.
    Journal: Angew Parasitol; 1983 May; 24(2):95-106. PubMed ID: 6137173.
    Abstract:
    31 species of mosquitoes have been found in an investigation of the mosquito fauna in the district of Schwerin, German Democratic Republic. 5 of these species have been found responsible for producing pests: Aedes cantans, A. annulipes, A. cataphylla, A. punctor and Culex pipiens. At the same time an ecological investigation of the breeding places of the mosquitoes was carried out (measurement of acidity and chlorid ions). A large chemical uniformity of the breeding places was found. The relatively high frequency of 5 species of Anopheles, especially of the A. maculipennis group, in close proximity to densely populated areas is discussed with regard to the recent situation of malaria. Further investigations of the Anopheles populations of the district capital are to be expected.
