“…8). The lack of quantitative relationship can be attributed to the following: (a) adult mosquitoes disperse over large areas so that the samples collected in traps might include the mosquitoes from larval habitats outside as well as inside the study area, ( b ) the life span of adults is longer (11,12) than the developmental period of aquatic stages, so that there would be a greater chance of an adult being sampled, and (c) the drying-up of pools causes a high mortality in the larval and pupal stages.…”

More than 95% of the mosquitoes in southern Alberta develop in waste irrigation water. Sixteen species of four genera in the subfamily Culicinae were identified, namely, Anopheles earlei, Culex tarsalis, Culiseta inornata, Culiseta a2askaensis, Aedes vexans, A . cinereus, A . dorsalis, A . campestris, A . spencerii, A.jlauwcens, A . m i~o m a c n l i s , A . riparius, -4. stictictu, A. i n t r h s . A. cnbaphylb, A. mdaximm; and two species in the subfamily Chnoborinae, nameIy, Chanbnvvs am~rimnus and C. Jlnrqlcans. Weekly irrdex of the ntiml,er of larvae and pupae as the average numl~er per dip multiplicrl by the area in square yards, and total weeklv trap catches of adults of the seven moqt common species were comp~~ted for each of three irrigation difiricts, representing distinctly different farming prartice.9. Adults were more numcrorts in a sheltered than in a n own site, the males noticeably more so than the females. Moquitocc were more abundant in the older than in the newer irrigated districts, and improper farming and watermanagement practices favored irlcrease in n~i~ttbesu, even in weI1-planned irrigation districts.'Manuscript received August 7,1959.

“…They can also migrate over long distances to find a host for the blood-meal -according to the weather conditions the flight capacity is about 1 km/night. Migrations of 12 km were proved by Brust (1980) while those of 18 to 50 km were reported as common occurrences by Stage et al (1937). Horsfall (1954) reports huge displacement of Ae.…”

Twelve of the 47 Polish mosquito species can pose serious health problems to man or at least heavy nuisance. They fly from breeding sites (where huge numbers can be produced) into houses and/or farm buildings transmitting severe human and animal diseases. A edes species occur along river valleys and their larvae can breed in different pools situated in a variety of environments. C ulex pipiens, especially its form m olestus and C uliseta annulata can breed in natural and artificial ponds, even in heavily polluted water. Although mosquitoes are known to be competent vectors o f serious human and animal diseases, in Poland they are considered to cause nuisance only. Despite the fact that malaria was eradicated in Poland in 1960-s, at least two Polish anopheline species can still transmit the human malarial parasite very effectively. The remaining species (except for only one) described in the paper can transmit several arboviruses, while several species are vectors o f filariosis (Dirofilaria sp.).

“…The dispersion of specific species of floodwater mosquitoes, Ochlerotatus sticticus (Meigen, 1838) and Aedes vexans (Meigen, 1830) was investigated by Stage et al (1937), Gjullin et al (1950), and Brust (1980), while the passive migration of Ae. vexans was investigated by Horsfall (1954).…”

Abstract:In spring 2004, the mark-release-recapture study was conducted in the Osijek area, covering the total of 171 km 2 , to describe dispersal pattern of three floodwater mosquito species (Aedes vexans, Ochlerotatus sticticus and Oc. caspius). Forty CO2 baited Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) traps were set at distances varying from 0.95 to 16.7 km from release site. Fifty thousand mosquitoes were released, and a total of 22 marked mosquitoes were recaptured in 12 traps, 82% of which were collected in the first six days after release. The maximum distance of recaptured mosquito (Oc. sticticus) was found at 11.68 km from the release site. During the study, the average dispersal rate per day for mosquitoes ranged from 0.96 km to 3.6 km in regard to different species.
