 S. Amala et al studied diversity of mosquito in a foot hill village of Sirumlalai

Hills for a year. Mosquitoes were collected by standard WHO method. A total

number of 1440 mosquitoes that belongs to 4 genera and 17 species were collected.The most dominant species was Culex quinquefasciatus (19.58%) followed by

  Aedes albopictus (12.91%),   Anopheles vagus (12.29%),   Anophelus subpictus 

(12.01%), Culex triteaniorhynchus (10.69%), Culex vishnui (9.76%) and

Armigeres subalbatus (6.66%) and least species were Anopheles fluviatilis (3.9%),

 Anopheles culicifascies (3.3%). 

P. Dutta et al  studied conducted during monsoon and post monsoon

season in the hilly state of Nagaland , a total number of 58 mosquito species under 

11 genera were recorded. Out of these, 21 species viz., Aedes, Armigeres, Culex,Coquilittidae, Malaya, Toxorhynchhites, Uuanotaenia, mansonia were recorded

for the first time from this state. Eleven mosquito species recorded earlier were not

detected in the present study. Thus, with the addition these 11 species , the total

mosquito fauna of the state goes up to 69. All the recognized vectors of malaria in

the northeast and the vectors of Japanese encephalitis and dengue are recorded in

the present study.

P. Dutta et al studied  Mosquito biodiversity of Dibru-Saikhowa

 biosphere reserve in Assam, India. Were conducted for three consecutive years incore and buffer zone. A total of 52 species of mosquitoes under eleven genera have

 been detected. The genus Anopheles (18 species) was the predominant followed

  by culex  , Adedes, Mansonia , Armigeres, Mimomyia, Ochlerostatus, Malaya,

Toxorhynchites, Ficalbia and Aedomyia. This study provides the list of available

mosquito species recorded for first time in Dibru saikhowa biosphere reserve.

John c. Carlson et al studied interactions between predator diversity and

  primary consumer abundance can include direct effects and indirect cascading

effects. Aquatic predators and immature mosquitoes were collected from shallow pools of varying age previously excavated by brickmakers in the western highlands

of Kenya. Path analysis showed an indirect negative effect of habitat age on

 An.gambiae (Giles.1902) mediated by effects on predator diversity.

 T.B. Knox studied in response to an identified paucity of 

information on the size and composition of Immature   Aedes aegypti (L.)

  populations in large field containers, we assessed net sampling and

  pumping/sieving methods for estimating and enumerating third (III)/fourth (IV)

instar and pupal populations. A pumping method or hand bailing was applied in the

field for the collection of III/IV instars and pupae from 406 receptacles, of which

343 had been previously sampled via five-sweep netting technique.

Pemola Devi.,N and R.K Jauhari Studied on habitat biodiversity of 

mosquitoes occurring in certain parts of Garhwal (Uttranchal), India. Our database

showed that the area harbors 45 species from 3 genera. As many as 17 species of 

 Anopheles and 15 species of the genus  Aedes were recorded during November 

2000 to October 2002. Further, there were 13 species of  Culex, besides few

specimens that could not be identified correctly because of damage body parts.

P.Dutta et al  entomological studies conducted during monsoon and

 post-monsoon season in Manipur state revealed the presence of fifty five species of 

mosquitoes under ten genera. Out of the seventeen  Anopheles species recorded,

  Anopheles acunitus, An. Dirus, and An. nivipes were recorded for the first time

from the state. The present study has confirmed the existence of An.dirus, the

major malaria vector in the Northeast from a selected area of the state. Among

culicines, four species viz., Aedes, Nigrostriatus, Malaya genurostris, Aediomyia 

catasticta, and Toxorhynchties splendons which were not reported earlier from this

state have been recorded in the present study. With the addition of these seven

species of mosquitoes to the earlier record or mosquitoes so far reported from

Manipur, the mosquito fauna swells up to one hundred and eleven including the

major vectors of malaria of the Northeast and the potential vectors of Japanese

encephalitis and dengue virus transmission in India.

Rose maria TUBAKI (1) et al  studied diversity of mosquito species in

Riverine habitats of the Igarpava Dam, Southern Region, Brazil. Four habitats

were selected as sampling stations: peridomiciliary habitat, pasture,verdas and

gallery forest patch. The Shannon index results from the potential vectors were

compared using student t-test.   Aedes scapularis, Anopheles darling and An.albitarsis  senso latu seasonal abundance were described with moving average

and compared using X¶ test.

 Sathe., T.V., and B.E. Girhe studied mosquito biodiversity in Kolhapur 

district of Maharashtra. During the study period January 2001 nine species of 

mosquitoes belonging to the genera  Anopheles (3), Culex (3), and Aedes (3) have

 been reported. In addition, three unknown species have also been recorded from

the district. In the present study, emphasis is given on the morphologicaldescription of the species.
