Objective To understand the species and distribution of mosquitoes in Yangzhou,so as to provide a basis for prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases.Methods Lamp trapping method was used to monitor mosquitoes.Excel 2016 and SPSS 25.0 softwares were used for data entry and aggregation and statistical analysis.The difference of species composition was determined by Chi-square test,and multiple comparison was conducted by Bonferroni method.Results From 2021 to 2023,a total of 8 836 adult female-mosquitoes belonging to 6 species were captured.The average mosquito density was 2.73 mosquitoes per night.Culex pipiens pallens was the dominant species,accounting for 70.05%.Barn had the highest mosquit density of 3.38 mosquitoes per night.There were statistical differences in the distribution of different mosquito species in different monitoring habitats(x2=1 134.473,P<0.001).The density peak was appeared in July.Conclusion It is necessary to take different control measures according to the habitats,species,breeding sites and seasonal fluctuations to improve the control effect.
