Methods of mosquito plague control in Świnoujście area based on the analysis of species distribution.
Journal Title: Przegląd Epidemiologiczny - Year 2015, Vol 69, Issue 1
Abstract
OBJECTIVE. Studies conducted in 2013 in Świnoujście area aimed at determining mosquito species distribution and analyzing sites, productivity and dynamics of larva and adult breeding as well as developing guidelines for effective mosquito control in this area. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Entomological studies were conducted from March to September 2013. Distribution of mosquito larvae and adults was investigated. Mosquito larvae were observed mainly in April in transient snow-melt pools. RESULTS. Ochlerotatus cantans, Oc. communis, Oc. annulipes, Oc. punctor were the most predominant mosquito species. Since July, larvae of the following genera: Culex spp., Culiseta spp., Anopheles spp. were collected in standing water bodies. A total of 17 adult mosquitoes were identified. Of them, Oc. communis, Aedes vexans, Culex pipiens/torrentium, Oc. Cantans, Oc. caspius predominated over other species. CONCLUSIONS. Mosquito plague in Świnoujście area can be controlled if constant actions would be undertaken from April (use of microbial biocides for snow-melt mosquito larva control) to August (use of microbial biocides for polygeneration larva species control and use of chemical biocides for adult mosquito control). Furthermore, there is a need for actions that would make environment less friendly to mosquitoes and would help to identify breeding sites of aggressive mosquito species - Aedes vexans. There is also a necessity to educate the inhabitants of Świnoujście area on the danger resulting from uncontrolled use of insecticides in protected areas and those which are unique from a faunistic perspective.
