Systematic and ecological study of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in the region of Timgad, Algeria

A systematic and ecological study of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in the region of Timgad, Algeria, identified five mosquito species over a year-long period. Culiseta longiareolata was found to be the most abundant, with three significant population peaks. The research also examined the correlation between mosquito larval density and water quality, using monthly sampling via the 'Dipping' method for larvae collection and subsequent laboratory identification. This study provides valuable insights into the biodiversity and ecological dynamics of mosquitoes in the Timgad region, contributing to our understanding of their distribution and environmental interactions.
