For instance, malaria, dengue hemorrhagic fever and filariasis remain endemic in Pangkajene Regency and Islands Regencies.The existence of these vectors will affect the transmission of potential vector-borne diseases. The purpose of this research is to determine the potential transmission of those diseases including Japanese encephalitis in those areas. Data were collected by catching adult mosquitoes and larvae in forest, non-forest and coastal ecosystems according to the WHO methods, including human man landing collection, animal baited trap net, animal feed, resting morning, and light trap. The larva survey was conducted at the mosquito breeding place. Pathogens in mosquitoes were detected in a laboratory using Polimerase Chain Reaction. The study found plasmodium in some species. They were Anopheles vagus in a residential ecosystem near settlement, Anopheles subpictus in forest ecosystems near settlements and non forest remote settlements, Anopheles barbirostris was found near and remote forest ecosystems, Anopheles indifinitus found in nearby forest ecosystems and non- forest close to settlements.

The impact of climate variability on vector-borne diseases is well documented. The increasing morbidity, mortality and health costs of dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) are escalating at an alarming rate. Numerous efforts have been taken by the ministry of health and local authorities to prevent and control dengue. However dengue is still one of the main public health threats in Malaysia. This study was carried out from October 2009 by a research group on climate change and vector-borne diseases. The objective of this research project is to assess the community vulnerability to climate variability effect on dengue, and to promote COMBI as the community responses in controlling dengue. This project also aims to identify the community adaptive measures for the control of dengue.

  • A Revision of the Mosquitos of the Palaearctic Region
    263 A REVISION OF THE MOSQUITOS OF THE PALAEARCTIC REGION. By F. W. EDWARDS. (Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.) For some years after the intensive study of mosquitos began in tropical countries, surprisingly little interest was taken in the European species, particularly those of Northern Europe. Ficalbi had published his monographic revision in 1896-99, but from then until 1914 very little further had been done ; the adults were assumed to be more or less known, though very few of the larvae had been described. Since 1914, however, a great deal of work has been done all over Europe, bionomic as well as systematic, and considerable advances have been made in every branch of our knowledge of these insects. The present paper was commenced early in 1919, with the study of a number of large collections received at the British Museum from Italy (Mr. E. Hargreaves), Macedonia (Capt. J. Waterston), Palestine and Mesopotamia (Capt. P. J. Barraud), and Egypt (Major E. E. Austen). Shortly afterwards a correspondence with Dr. Wesenberg-Luhd, of Copenhagen, made it evident that there were many more species in Northern Europe than had previously been supposed. I therefore determined to attempt a revision of the Palaearctic mosquito fauna, and with this end in view wrote to the Dipterists in charge at various continental museums, as well as some private collectors, for the loan of material for determination or re- determination. Collections were sent in response to my requests by Dr. R. Frey, Helsingfors Museum ; Dr. E. Bergroth, Jamsa, Finland ; Dr. Y.

Entomological surveys (2001-2005) were carried out in Narathiwat Province to determine mosquito fauna of the peat swamp forest. Fifty-four species belonging to 13 genera were identified from 837 larval specimens and 3,982 adult mosquitoes. These included the major vectors for Brugian fillariasis: Mansonia annulata, Ma. bonneae, Ma. dives, Ma. uniformis and Ma. indiana. Ma. annulata and An. letifer were reported for the first time in Thailand as lymphatic filariasis vectors. Three species inhabiting Nepen- thes pitchers (N. mirabilis): Tripteroides tenax, Toxorhynchites manopi and Uranotaenia edwardsi, were recorded for the first time in Thailand; Zeugnomyia gracilis was also found common in the peat swamp forest.

  • Diptera : Culicidae) of Southern Coastal Districts of Orissa
    Rec. zool. Surv. India, 109(Part-2) : 87-98, 2009 A PRELIMINARY NOTE ON THE MOSQUITO FAUNA (DIPTERA : CULICIDAE) OF SOUTHERN COASTAL DISTRICTS OF ORISSA s. DAsH AND R.K. HAZRA* Estuarine Biological Station, Zoological Survey of India, Gopalpur on Sea, Orissa-761 002, India INTRODUCTION The family Culicidae consists of 41 genera and 3500 species known all over the world. Of these, 320 species of 37 genera of mosquitoes are reported from India. Barraud (1934) studied the Indian mosquito fauna and recorded 250 species of Culicinae with type localities in greater India. The mosquito fauna of coastal Orissa was first studied by Fry (1912) and reported the presence of 5 anopheline species. After a gap of over three decades Rodenwaldt recorded 21 sps. of Anopheles mosquitoes (Diptera : Culicidae) from the coastal belt of Orissa. Subsequently Nagpal and Sharma (1983) recorded 32 species of mosquitoes belonging to six genera from coastal districts of Orissa. Later Dash et al. (2000) reported 8 sps. of Culicinae and 14 spp of Anopheline mosquitoes from Chilika Lake area; Rajavel et al. (2005a, b) reported 74 species belonging to 12 genera and 20 subgenera from Jeypore hill tracks of Orissa and fortythree species of mosquitoes belonging to 21 subgenera and 13 genera, from mangrooves of Bhiterkanika. The need for the identification of the mosquitoes is urgently required because some of the mosquito species are the vectors of important tropical diseases including malaria, dengu, filariasis, etc. Although the organizations such as National Centre for Malaria Research (NIMR), Regional Medical Research Centre (RMRC, Bhubaneswar), Vector Control Research Centre (VCRC) and National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD) are doing a handful work on mosquito biology, but the taxonomy of Indian mosquito is far from complete.

  • Non-Anopheline Mosquitoes of Taiwan: Annotated Catalog and Bibliography1
    Pacific Insects 4 (3) : 615-649 October 10, 1962 NON-ANOPHELINE MOSQUITOES OF TAIWAN: ANNOTATED CATALOG AND BIBLIOGRAPHY1 By J. C. Lien TAIWAN PROVINCIAL MALARIA RESEARCH INSTITUTE2 INTRODUCTION The studies of the mosquitoes of Taiwan were initiated as early as 1901 or even earlier by several pioneer workers, i. e. K. Kinoshita, J. Hatori, F. V. Theobald, J. Tsuzuki and so on, and have subsequently been carried out by them and many other workers. Most of the workers laid much more emphasis on anopheline than on non-anopheline mosquitoes, because the former had direct bearing on the transmission of the most dreaded disease, malaria, in Taiwan. Owing to their efforts, the taxonomic problems of the Anopheles mos­ quitoes of Taiwan are now well settled, and their local distribution and some aspects of their habits well understood. However, there still remains much work to be done on the non-anopheline mosquitoes of Taiwan. Nowadays, malaria is being so successfully brought down to near-eradication in Taiwan that public health workers as well as the general pub­ lic are starting to give their attention to the control of other mosquito-borne diseases such as filariasis and Japanese B encephalitis, and the elimination of mosquito nuisance. Ac­ cordingly extensive studies of the non-anopheline mosquitoes of Taiwan now become very necessary and important. Morishita and Okada (1955) published a reference catalogue of the local non-anophe­ line mosquitoes. However the catalog compiled by them in 1955 was based on informa­ tion obtained before 1945. They listed 34 species, but now it becomes clear that 4 of them are respectively synonyms of 4 species among the remaining 30.
