Abstract

Mosquitoes are potential vectors of some important diseases for humans and animals. Apart from mosquito borne diseases, mosquitoes cause nuisances for both humans and animals when they are abundant. The objective of this study was to determine the fauna of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Farashband County, southwest of Iran. The study was carried out from April to September 2012. Four collection sites, were selected randomly with regard to existing facilities in Farashband County. Sampling was carried out by dipping technique for collecting larvae and pyrethrum space spray collection (PSSC) for adult mosquitoes. Mean temperature was recorded for every month. A total of 1152 adults and 1505 larvae of Culicidae mosquitoes were collected, of which 3 genera and 7 species of Culicidae were recognized, namely, Anopheles superpictus , An. dthali, Culex sitaiticus, Cx. theileri, Cx. pipiens, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus and Culiseta longiareolata . Cs. longiareolata was the most frequent Culicidae mosquito collected at Farashband, with a total of 513, and 249 specimens, by larval and PSSC collection, respectively. The highest numbers of mosquitoes were collected in July (34.9%) and the lowest in April (3.8%), respectively. Regarding this research, there are some potential vectors in medical and veterinary importance in Farashband County and they are more active in July and June.

伊朗西南部法拉什班德地区蚊种组成(双翅目:库蚊科)

蚊子是人类和动物某些重要疾病的潜在传播媒介。除了蚊子传播的疾病外，蚊子数量多的时候也会给人类和动物带来麻烦。本研究的目的是确定伊朗西南部法拉希班德县蚊虫区系(双翅目:库蚊科)。该研究于2012年4月至9月进行。在法拉什班德县的现有设施中随机选择了四个收集点。采用浸渍法采集成蚊幼虫和除虫菊空间喷雾法采集成蚊。记录每个月的平均温度。共捕获库蚊科成蚊1152只，幼虫1505只，鉴定库蚊科超照按蚊3属7种。西地库蚊，c。theileri,残雪。侵害,残雪。三带喙库蚊和长喙库蚊。Cs。长毛卷腹蚊是疫区最常见的库蚊科蚊种，分别捕获幼虫513只和PSSC 249只。成蚊数量以7月最高(34.9%)，4月最低(3.8%);本研究发现，法拉什班德县存在一些具有潜在医学和兽医意义的病媒生物，7、6月较为活跃。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research (JEAR), formerly the Bollettino di Zoologia Agraria e di Bachicoltura of the Institute of Entomology of the Università degli Studi, Milano, was founded in 1928 by Remo Grandori. Thereafter, Minos Martelli and Luciano Süss hold the direction of the Journal until December 2011. In January 2012 the Editor decided for the new open-access on-line version of JEAR. The Journal publishes original research papers concerning Arthopods, but reviews, editorials, technical reports, brief notes, conference proceeding, letters to the Editor, book reviews are also welcome. JEAR has four main areas of interest: -Entomology (systematics; morphology; biology; biotechnology; agriculture, ornamental and forest entomology; applied entomology; integrated pest management; biological control; apiculture and apidology; medical, urban and veterinary entomology; etc.) -Stored product pests (biology; integrated pest management; etc.) -Insect Ecology (behaviour; biodiversity; taxonomy; plant insect interaction and ecosystems; biological control; alien species; etc.) -Acarology (systematics; morphology; biology; parasitology; control; etc.) The publication of manuscripts is subject to the approval of the Section Editor who has knowledge of the field discussed in the manuscript in accordance with the principles of Peer Review; referees will be selected from the Editorial Board or among qualified scientists of the international scientific community. Articles must be written in English and must adhere to the guidelines and details contained in the Instructions to Authors.
