DRY SEASON ECOLOGY AND SPECIES COMPOSITION OF MOSQUITO’S FAUNA IN WHITE NILE AREA CENTRAL SUDAN
Journal Title: International Journal of Applied and Natural Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
This study carries out in Ed Dueim town, White Nile State Sudan from April, to June 2011 to update mosquito species, their ecology, and the resting places. Three methods adopted for mosquito survey: standard dipper for the larval survey, knockdown, and aspirator techniques for adult collection. Out of 916adult mosquito collected by knockdown and aspirator collection, 591 (64.5%) were Culex univittatus, 129 (13.4%) were Culex quinquefasciatus, 144 (15.7%) were Culex antennatus, 48 (5.2%) were Anopheles arabiensis and four (0.4%) where Anopheles pharoensis. The percentages of emerged adult mosquitoes from the collected pupae were 46.8%, 41.4%, 11.2%, and 0.7% of C. univittatus, C. quinquefasciatus, A. arabiensis, and An. pharoensis respectively. Culicinae and Anopheline mosquito were be found throughout the study period, with Culexspp being more abundant. Culex univittatus was dominant over all mosquito species. Anopheles arabiensis was dominant, but A. pharoensis was rare. Jars water “Zeers” and water barrels found as resting places for mosquito species studied. The study revealed that the mosquito breeding sites were; Irrigation canals, leaking drinking water pipes, hoof print holes, cement basin. The main source of the breeding sites in was leakages of water pipes. Out of 3655, larvae collected from all breeding sites 1616 (44.2%) larvae, were collected from the latter site. All specimens of larvae and adults mosquitoes were identified morphologically in details
