Seasonal Prevalence of Mosquitoes Collected with Light Trap - At a Pig Shed in the Vicinity of Daegu City, Korea-

誘蚊燈에 捕獲된 모기類의 季節的 發生消長: 大邱市隣近 한 豚舍를 對象으로

Mosquitoes were collected with light trap at a pig shed in the vicinity of Daegu city from mid-April to the end of November in 1981 and 1982. A total of 12,942 and 118,061 individuals were collected in 1981 and 1982 respectively. The collection comprised 77% females and 23% males in 1981, and 96% females and 4% males in 1982. The catches were classified into following 7 species: Culex (Culex) pipiens pallens, C. (C.) tritaeniorhynchus summorosus, Anopheles (Anopheles) sinensis, C. (C.) vagans, C. (C.) oritntelis, C. (C.) bitaeniorhynchus, Aedes (Aedimorphus) vexans nipponii. The former three species showed distinct seasonal prevalence. Arranged in the descending order in size of the catches, in 1981, Culex (Culex) pipiens pallens was 44.9% of the total collection (at sex ratio of 0.85), Anopheles (Anopheles) sinensis 42.9% (0.05), Culex (Culex) tritaeniorhynchus summorosus 12.1% (0.00). On the contrary, Culex (Culex) tritaeniorhynchus summorosus 70.4% (0.00), Anopheles (Anopheles) sinensis 25.2% (0.05), Culex (Culex) pipiens pallens 4.4% (2.19) in 1982. The monthly percentages of collected mosquitoes to the total collection were 0.1% (in 1981) and 0.0% (in 1982) in May; 3.5%, 1.3% in June; 50.0%, 33.9% in July; 37.1%, in August; 8.8%, 11.9% in September; 0.5%, 0.8% in October and 0.0% in November. As for seasonal prevalence, mosquitoes appeared in May in both years and began to increase in number from the first week of June in 1981, but from the second week of May, ahead of three weeks in 1982. The highest peak time in 1982 was the second week of August, two weeks later than the fifth week of July in 1981. Culex (Culex) pipiens pallens showed the maximum activity for the fifth week of July in 1981, but for the third week of July, ahead of two weeks in 1982. Culex (Culex) tritaeniorhynchus reached the highest peak for the second week of August in both years. Anopheles (Anopheles) sinensis showed the maximum activity for the fifth week of July in 1981, but for the third week of July, two weeks earlier in 1982. The highest peak times of three main species were compared respectively as folows. Culex (Culex) pipiens pallens had the highest peak time in common with Anopheles (Anopheles) sinensis, Culex (Culex) tritaeniorhynchus summorosus showed the maximum activity for the second week of August in 1982.

1. 14個月間 養豚과 養鷄를 主業으로 하는 한 農家의 豚舍에 誘蚊燈을 設置하여 誘引捕獲된 모기類의 總個體數는 1981年에 12,942, 1982年에는 118,061로서 1982年度 것이 新年度보다 約 9.1培 많았으며 性比는 1981年度에 암컷이 77%, 수컷은 23%였고, 1982年에는 암컷이 96%, 수컷은 4%였다. 2. 誘蚊燈으로 捕獲된 모기類는 Culex (Culex) pipiens pallens, C. (C.) tritaeniorhynchus summoro년, C. (C.) vagans, C. (C.) orientalis, C. (C.) bitaeniorhynchus, Aedes (Aedimorphus) vexans nipponii, Anopheles (Anopheles) sinensis 7種이었다. 3. 7種 中 季節消長이 뚜렷한 種으로는 Culex (Culex) pipiens pallens, C. (C.) tritaeniorhynchus summoro년, Anopheles (Anopheles) sinensis 3種으로서 捕獲成績順으로 配列하면 1981年에는 Culex (Culex) pipiens pallens가 全모기類의 44.9% (性比 : 0.85), Anopeles (Anopheles) sinensis 42.9% (0.05), Culex (Culex) tritaeniorhynchus summor년 12.1% (0.01)였으며 1982年度에는 反對로 Culex (Culex) tritaeniorhynchus summoro년 70.4% (0.00), Anopheles (Anopheles) sinensis 25.2% (0.05), Culex (Culex) pipiens pallens 4.4% (2.19)로 나타났다. 4. 全모기類의 月別 捕獲個體數에 對한 百分率은 다음과 같다. 5月 : 0.1% (1981年), 0.0% (1982年); 6月 : 3.5%, 1.3%; 7月 : 50.0%, 33.9%; 8月 : 37.1%, 52.1%; 9月 : 8.8%, 11.9%; 10月 : 0.5%, 0.8%; 11月 : 0.1%. 5. 모기類의 出現은 1981年과 1982年 모두 5月初로서 共通性을 지니고 있으나 增加勢를 보이는 것은 다르게 나타났다. 즉, 1981年은 6月 첫째 週이고 1982年은 前年度보다 3週 앞당겨진 5月 둘째 週였다. 6. 發生最大 peak는 1981年이 7月 다섯째 週이고, 1982年은 2週가 늦은 8月 둘째 週였다. 7. Culex (Culex) pipiens pallens의 最大發生 peak는 1981年度에 7月 다섯째 週, 1982年度는 2週 앞당겨진 7月 셋째 週였다. 8. Culex (Culex) tritaeniorhynchus summoro년의 最大發生 peak는 1981年, 1982年 모두 8月 둘째 週였다. 9. Anopheles (Anopheles) sinensis의 最大發生 peak는 1981年에 7月 다섯째 週, 1982年은 2週 앞당겨진 7月 셋째 週였다. 10. 重要 3種의 最大 peak를 比城하면 Culex (Culex) pipiens pallens와 Anopheles (Anopheles) sinensis는 1981年과 1982年 모두 最大 peak時期가 同一하였으며, Culex (Culex) tritaeniorhynchus summoro년는 2年間 모두 8月둘째 週에 나타났다.
