Species composition and seasonal dynamics of mosquito larvae (Diptera: Culicidae) in Igdir Plain, Turkey

Temmuz-Ekim 2005 ve Nisan-Ekim 2006 süresince, Iğdır Ovası’nda (Aras Vadisi) kalıcı ve geçici üreme alanlarından 14 sivrisinek türüne (Aedes vexans, Anopheles hyrcanus, An. maculipennis s.s., Culex deserticola, Cx. laticinctus, Cx. martinii, Cx. mimeticus, Cx. modestus, Cx. pipiens, Cx. theileri, Cx. territans, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, Ochlerotatus caspius ve Oc. dorsalis) ait 24.752 larva toplandı. En dominant türün Oc. dorsalis (toplam yakalananların %33.69’u) olduğu, bu türü, An. maculipennis s.s. (%23.02), Ae. vexans (%15.19), Cx. theileri (%11.3), Oc. caspius (%10.33) ve Cx. pipiens’in (%2.25) takip ettiği belirlendi. Oc. caspius hariç, bütün türler, kalıcı üreme alanlarında örneklenebildi. Diğer taraftan, geçici üreme alanlarında yalnız 5 tür (Oc. dorsalis, Ae. vexans, Oc. caspius, Cx. theileri ve An. maculipennis s.s.) örneklenebildi. Iğdır Ovası’nda, An. sacharovi’nin, Maculipennis complex içerisindeki oranının %6.5 olduğu belirlendi.

Iğdır Ovası'ndaki (Türkiye) sivrisinek larvalarının (Diptera: Culicidae) tür kompozisyonu ve mevsimsel dinamizmleri

A total of 24.752 larvae consisting of fourteen mosquito species (Aedes vexans, Anopheles hyrcanus, An. maculipennis s.s., Culex deserticola, Cx. laticinctus, Cx. martinii, Cx. mimeticus, Cx. modestus, Cx. pipiens, Cx. theileri, Cx. territans, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, Ochlerotatus caspius and Oc. dorsalis) were collected from permanent and temporary breeding areas in Iğdır plain (Ararat Valley) from July through October, 2005 and April through October, 2006 periods. The most dominant species was Oc. dorsalis (33.69% of total catch) followed by An. maculipennis s.s. (23.02%), Ae. vexans (15.19%), Cx. theileri (11.3%), Oc. caspius (10.33%) and Cx. pipiens (2.25%). Except Oc. caspius, all of the species could be sampled in permanent breeding areas. On the other hand, only five species (Oc. dorsalis, Ae. vexans, Oc. caspius, Cx. theileri and An. maculipennis s.s.) were found in temporary breeding areas. The ratio of An. sacharovi in Maculipennis complex was 6.5% in Iğdır plain.
