“…Mansonia feed on both humans and animals such as cattle, fowl, goats, and dogs [ 183 , 184 ]. Mansonia larvae are found in rivers supporting thick vegetation along the edges, and in swamps to which they attach by piercing their siphons to breathe from submerged plant stems (especially Pistia ) [ 185 , 186 ].…”

The expansion of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya in the past 15 years has ignited the need for active surveillance of common and neglected mosquito-borne infectious diseases. The surveillance should be designed to detect diseases and to provide relevant field-based data for developing and implementing effective control measures to prevent outbreaks before significant public health consequences can occur. Mosquitoes are important vectors of human and animal pathogens, and knowledge on their biodiversity and distribution in the Afrotropical region is needed for the development of evidence-based vector control strategies. Following a comprehensive literature search, an inventory of the diversity and distribution of mosquitoes as well as the different mosquito-borne diseases found in Cameroon was made. A total of 290 publications/reports and the mosquito catalogue website were consulted for the review. To date, about 307 species, four subspecies and one putative new species of Culicidae, comprising 60 species and one putative new species of Anopheles, 67 species and two subspecies of Culex, 77 species and one subspecies of Aedes, 31 species and one subspecies of Eretmapodites, two Mansonia, eight Coquillettidia, and 62 species with unknown medical and veterinary importance (Toxorhynchites, Uranotaenia, Mimomyia, Malaya, Hodgesia, Ficalbia, Orthopodomyia, Aedeomyia, and Culiseta and Lutzia) have been collected in Cameroon. Multiple mosquito species implicated in the transmission of pathogens within Anopheles, Culex, Aedes, Eretmapodites, Mansonia, and Coquillettidia have been reported in Cameroon. Furthermore, the presence of 26 human and zoonotic arboviral diseases, one helminthic disease, and two protozoal diseases has been reported. Information on the bionomics, taxonomy, and distribution of mosquito species will be useful for the development of integrated vector management programmes for the surveillance and elimination of mosquito-borne diseases in Cameroon.

“…Methods of collecting larvae of M. perturbans are described by McNeel (109) and may be briefly summarized as follows: Pull up the host plant from a small area and lay them aside, scoop up muck and debris from the area from which the plants were removed and pour through a strainer. Transfer the material in small quantities from the strainer to clear water in a white enamel tray and examine carefully for the presence of larvae.…”

“…As Mansonia larvae are often difficult to locate, the following notes are given on the methods found by the writers to be successful in collecting them (98 This speckled brown and white mosquito is widely distributed in the Eastern and Southern States. The adults are strong fliers and severe biters, and in many localities become a serious pest.…”

Anopheles quadrimaeulatus, the common malaria mosquito, transmits malaria and is a bad pest otherwise. Aedes aegypti, the yellow-fever mosquito, transmits yellow fever and dengue fever and is a serious house pest. Culex quinquefasciatus, the southern house mosquito, is a serious house pest. It transmits bird malaria and is an intermediate host for some of the filaria. Aedes sollicitans, the salt-marsh mosquito, is the most important salt-marsh species generally in the Eastern and Southern States. Aedes taeniorliynehus, the small, black salt-marsh mosquito, is another saltmarsh species of economic importance, especially in Florida. Psorophora columbiae, the Florida glades mosquito, is an important freshwater species in southern Florida, and is also troublesome in other areas. Mansonia perturbans, the common Mansonia, is a severe pest in areas where suitable breeding conditions occur. (Some of these species may also transmit equine encephalomyelitis or other diseases.) The woods mosquitoes, taken collectively, form a group that is also* of considerable importance as a pest of man and animals. The principal ones in the Southeast are Aedes triseriatus, A. infirmatus, A., atlanticus, A. vexans, Psorophora ferox, and P. ciliata. Culex salinarius and C. restuans are important at times, and various other species, such as Psorophora cyanescens, A. canadensis, and Mansonia, titillans, may become annoying in restricted localities. Of the 47 species taken in Florida, 7 are tropical species, and 6 of 'National Malaeia Committee, Subcommittee on Engineering, malaria control for engineers. U. S. Pub. Health Serv.
