Seasonal dynamic of mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in Animal barns and houses in aras valley, Turkey

Haziran-Ekim 2007 döneminde Aras Vadisi’ndeki hayvan ahırları ve evlerden ışık tuzakları ile on iki sivrisinek türüne ait toplam 8.923 birey toplandı. En dominant türün Ae. dorsalis (toplam yakalananların %42.2’si) olduğu, bu türü Cx. theileri (%26.54), Ae. vexans (%17.86) ve An. maculipennis s.l.’nin (%5.74) takip ettiği belirlendi. Kırsal alanlardaki habitatlarda yakalanan birey sayısı (1630,5 birey/habitat) kentsel alanlardaki birey sayısından (184.7 birey/habitat) daha fazlaydı. Örneklerin %4’ü evlerden (71 birey/ev), %96’sı ahırlardan (714 birey/ahır) toplandı. En fazla örnek Haziran (n= 5.621), en az örnek ise Ekim ayında (n= 129) toplandı. Ae. dorsalis, Cx. theileri ve Ae. vexans populasyon büyüklüğü Haziranda, An. maculipennis s.l. ve Cx. pipiens’in ise Ağustos ayında en yüksek noktaya ulaştı.

Aras Vadisi'ndeki (Türkiye) hayvan ahırları ve evlerdeki sivrisineklerin (diptera: culicidae) mevsimsel dinamizmleri

A total of 8,923 mosquitoes of the twelve species present were collected from animal barns and houses in Aras Valley during June-October 2007 period. The most dominant species was Ae. dorsalis (42.2% of total catch) followed by Cx. theileri (26.54%), Ae. vexans (17.86%) and An. maculipennis s.l. (5.74%). More specimens (1630.5 specimens/habitat) in rural habitats were caught than the ones (184,7 specimens/habitat) in suburban habitats. While 4% of samples were caught from houses (71 specimens/house), 96% were caught from animal barns (714 specimens/animal barn). The highest samples were collected in June (n= 5.621) and the lowest in October (n= 129). The population density of Ae. dorsalis, Cx. theileri and Ae. vexans reached their peaks in June, An. maculipennis s.l. and Cx. pipiens in August..
