Er. Easton, URBANIZATION AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE ECOLOGY OF MOSQUITOS IN MACAO, SOUTHEAST-ASIA, Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 10(4), 1994, pp. 540-544
Recent urbanization in Macau has resulted in the precipitous decline t
o zero in populations of several anopheline vectors of malaria while p
roviding optimal habitat for the population increase in culicines. Of
18 species of mosquitoes reported in Macau in recent years, 15 species
are included here. Culex quinquefasciatus, Culex sitiens, and Aedes a
lbopictus were the most abundant species. Notes are provided for Anoph
eles sinensis, Armigeres magnus, Armigeres subalbatus, Culex foliatus,
Culex fuscanus, Culex infantulus, Culex rubithoracis, Culex sumatranu
s, Culex tritaeniorhynchus, Mansonia uniformis, Toxorhynchites splende
ns, and Tripteroides sp.
