Abstract

Seven different sites were chosen in Ismailia Governorate representing areas of health and human activities that could be affected with the presence of insect vectors that assess their potential role in mechanical transmission of helminths and protozoa parasites of man. Four groups of insects were collected: Flies, cockroaches, beetles and ants. A total number of 8499 individual insects were collected during the period of study. The summer season was the most abundant season as the total insects count was 3679, autumn and spring came next to summer with 2787 and 1643 trapped insects, respectively. The lowest abundant season was winter in which only 390 insects were collected. The most important species with the highest abundance was Chrysomia putoria followed by Musca domestica with 1717 and 1707 individuals, respectively. Insects species diversity varied slightly among the months of the study period while it is noticed that insects species diversity varied greatly among the months of the study period.
