Mosquito larvae and associated macroorganisms occurring in gem pits in southern Tha Mai District, Chanthaburi Province, Thailand

Aquatic field studies were conducted in Tha Mai District, Chanthaburi Province, Thailand. Larval habitats of Anopheles dirus were examined from November 1986 through June 1988 in 42 manmade gem pits. Larvae were found in pits containing clear water under full or partial shade. The abundance of diffe...

More Information
Summary:Aquatic field studies were conducted in Tha Mai District, Chanthaburi Province, Thailand. Larval habitats of Anopheles dirus were examined from November 1986 through June 1988 in 42 manmade gem pits. Larvae were found in pits containing clear water under full or partial shade. The abundance of different kinds of mosquito larvae were related to seasonal changes in these aquatic habitats. Variations in An. dirus density and occurrence were related to predators populations, ie Notonectidae and fish.
