Abstract

        Continuous monitoring of vector species composition, abundance, dynamics, biting and resting habits is the base to determine the local vector species that affect disease transmission patterns and consequently the choice of cost-effective vector control options. For targeting that, adult mosquito surveys were conducted in Monufia as a representative of the Egyptian governorates in Nile-Delta (Spring 2016– Winter 2018). Totally, 4 species were reported in the selected villages: Culex (Culex) pipiens Linnaeus, Cx. (Cx.) perexiguus Theobald, Cx. (Cx.) antennatus Becker and Ochlerotatus (Ochlerotatus) caspius Pallas. Culex pipiens was the predominant species in all study regions. For each species, the following were examined: the relation of adult indoor and outdoor density with temperature and relative humidity as well as its indoor and outdoor resting density and its relation with temperature and relative humidity, determination of the endophagic and exophagic indices for mosquito biting reference and the seasonal changes in parity status.
