Abstract:
[Objectives]  To investigate the structure, spaciotemporal dynamics, and diversity, of mosquito communities in Wuhan, and thereby improve mosquito prevention and control in this region. [Methods]  The spaciotemporal dynamics of mosquito community structure and mosquito density in five habitats were monitored monthly from 2007 to 2016 using the lamp trap method. Species richness and diversity, evenness, dominance and similarity, indices, were calculated and compared. [Results]  The average density of mosquitoes in Wuhan during the study period was 58.54 /(lamp night). Eight species, from 5 genera and 2 subfamilies, were captured, and the dominant species were Culex pipiens pallens and Culex tritaeniorhynchus. There was a single seasonal peak of abundance in June. Habitats such as livestock sheds and farmer’s households differed in species richness, and in diversity, evenness and dominance indices, to residential areas, parks and hospitals. [Conclusion]  The species, quantity and diversity, of mosquito communities in different seasons and habitats in Wuhan differed, and methods of mosquito prevention and control should consequently take into account both season and habitat type.
