Abstract

Mosquitoes are found in almost all geographic areas. They are one of the most important epidemiological insects. They are vectors of more than 50 viral and bacterial infections and infestations. With the addition of Culex (Culex) bilineatus (Theobald, 1903) to the official classification, the number of recognized species of mosquitoes of the family Culicidae (Insecta: Diptera) to date is 3537. In Bulgaria are so far described 46 species from nine genera. The aim of this study was to investigate the species composition of mosquitoes in the family Culicidae in urban biocenoses in Plovdiv City. The study was conducted in 2011, 2012 and 2013 from May to November. For the territory of Plovdiv City were identified 8 biotopes. As a result of the research there were 19 species of 6 genera recorded. The article provides information on the species composition of mosquitoes in Plovdiv City. For the first time since 1989 the species composition of mosquitoes in the Plovdiv City is examined and for the first time, a complete list of species is presented.
