Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the composition and distribution of mosquitoes in the Dali University campus and provide epidemiological evidence for the mosquitoes research and the prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases in Dali state. Methods:The survey was conducted in both Gucheng campus and Xiaguan campus of the Dali University. The mosquitoes were collected at breeding place for mosquitoes and dense population areas. The UV light-traps were used to capture nocturnally active adult mosquitoes overnight. The collected insects were classified, counted and statistically analyzed. Results: 619 mosquitoes were collected and identified as 11 species of 2 genera. The two genera were Culex (7 species) and Anopheles (4 species), respectively. Among them, Cx. qsuinqueascitus was the dominant species (87.72%), and Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was common species and the other species were relatively fewer. Conclusion: Cx. qsuinqueascitus is the dominant species in the Dali University campus.
