Abstract

This study investigated spatial and temporal variations on the coexistence of Aedes aegypti , Aedes albopictus , and Culex larvae in five subdistricts in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand. We tested two main hypotheses on the spatial and temporal coexistence of mosquito larvae: (1) condition-specific competition and (2) spatial variation among the five subdistricts. We compared the number of positive houses, positive containers, mosquito coexistence during both the wet and dry seasons. The results showed that from a total of 1,072 positive containers collected in both seasons, Ae. albopictus larvae were found in the highest number of containers (745 containers), followed by containers with Ae. aegypti larvae (283 containers) and containers with Culex larvae (254 containers). During the wet season, there were higher numbers of positive houses, positive containers, and containers with only Ae. albopictus larvae than during the dry season. On the other hand, during the dry season when the water containers were very scarce, there were higher numbers of containers with Culex larvae, and containers held more than one type of mosquito larvae. This indicates that both temporal and spatial variations may contribute to the local coexistence of Aedes and Culex mosquito larvae species in Lansaka District areas in Thailand.

泰国南部伊蚊和库蚊幼虫共存的时空变化

本研究调查了泰国那空寺塔玛拉市5个街道埃及伊蚊、白纹伊蚊和库蚊幼虫共存的时空变化。本研究验证了蚊幼虫时空共存的两个主要假设:(1)条件特异性竞争和(2)5个街道间的空间变异。我们比较了湿季和干季阳性房屋、阳性容器的数量以及蚊子的共存情况。结果表明，两季采集的1072个阳性容器中，伊蚊;孳生白纹伊蚊的容器数量最多，为745个;埃及伊蚊幼虫(283个容器)和库蚊幼虫容器(254个容器)。在雨季，阳性房屋、阳性容器和仅含伊蚊的容器数量较多。白纹伊蚊幼虫较旱季增多。另一方面，在储水容器非常稀少的旱季，储水容器中库蚊幼虫的数量较多，储水容器中不止一种蚊子幼虫。这表明，在泰国兰萨卡地区，伊蚊和库蚊幼虫在当地共存的原因可能是时空差异。
