Abstract
AbstractSeveral organisms show a rhythm based behavior in their life. Mosquitoes are surviving successfully since ancient time on earth while lots of biological creatures have been extinct. Thus it is interesting to study their population load. Climatic conditions affect mosquito population significantly so on the basis of malaria cases their population is estimated in present study in Indian geographical scenario. In this study it was found that their annual population load show a scientific rhythm. A schematic wave form representation is also presented here to show mosquito population load. This study will be helpful in malaria vector eradication and health care policies.
Highlights
Like other mosquitoes anopheles mosquitoes complete their life cycle within a year
Each pedigree of mosquito comes with lots of eggs, but unluckily mosquito population is adversely affected by climatic conditions of concerned geographical area and loose uniform population load
Bharatpur district from Rajasthan state was chosen as study area which lies in Aravalli foothills of Indian subcontinent
Summary
Like other mosquitoes anopheles mosquitoes complete their life cycle within a year (around days) During a year their populations load does not show uniformity and greatly affected by climatic factors of concerned geographical area. Even lab reared mosquito cultures do not show such population load uniformity round the year despite enjoying artificially provided climatic conditions. Each pedigree of mosquito comes with lots of eggs, but unluckily mosquito population is adversely affected by climatic conditions of concerned geographical area and loose uniform population load. Plasmodium enjoys uniform temperature in human body as primary host (eurythermal) other hand remaining part of parasitic life is spent in female anopheles mosquito as secondary host (poikilothermal). Poikilothermal anopheles mosquito population load is fluctuated adversely by climatic conditions resulting fluctuations in malaria load
