Abstract

Research has been carried out on the types and abundance of mosquitoes in Kahyapu Village, Enggano Island, Northest Bengkulu in December 2018 – May 2019 with the goals to knowing the types and abundance of mosquitoes found in Kahyapu Village, Enggano Island, Northest Bengkulu. The research location points were determined by purposive sampling and the mosquito collection at each other location point was determined using the Human Landing Collection method. The mosquitoes obtained were grouped by genus and species, the data obtained were analyzed descriptively. From the results of the study obtained 4 species of mosquitoes, namely Aedes albopictus, Armigeres subalbatus, Culex fuscocephala and Culex quinquefasciatus. mosquito with high abundance are Aedes albopictus.

Highlights

The purpose of this study was to determine the type and abundance of mosquitoes found in Kahyapu Village, Enggano Island, Northest Bengkulu
The mosquitoes obtained were grouped by genus and type, the results of mosquito identification were presented in the form of a table of mosquito species and a table of qualitative abundance of mosquito species

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Mosquitoes from the sub-family Culicinae and family Culicidae (Nematocera: Diptera) are the main vectors or transmitters of arbovirus diseases. Mosquitoes have different active times to suck blood, some are diurnal, nocturnal and crepuscular. Diurnal mosquitoes are mosquitoes that are active from morning to evening, nocturnal mosquitoes are active mosquitoes at night, while crepuscular mosquitoes are mosquitoes that are active from early morning and late at night.(Schowalter, 2011). Mosquitoes are cosmopolitan insects that are found from the polar regions to the tropics, at an altitude of 0 to 5000 m above sea level. Some of them are mosquito genera that act as disease vectors such as Anopheles, Culex, Aedes, Mansonia, Armigeres. Mosquito groups that are mostly spread in Indonesia from the genus Aedes, Culex, Mansonia and Anopheles (Eldrige, 2008)
