Abstract In terms of human health, mosquitoes are the most important single family of insects. Despite many attempts to control them, these remarkably evolved mosquitos continue to cohabit with humans, feasting on them and their domesticated animals. Aside from blood loss, mosquitoes can transmit a variety of diseases, such as filariasis, malaria, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, dengue fever, and others. Mosquitoes proliferate due to their ravenous feeding habits, high reproduction rate, dispersal potential, and successful environmental exploitation. As a result, it is critical to limit mosquito multiplication to reduce nuisance and vector-borne infections. To effectively control mosquitoes, it is necessary to understand the species composition, density of populations of different species of mosquitoes, distribution pattern, and behavioral expressions of the numerous mosquitoes found in that area. In this context, the current research work attempts to explore the bioecology and behavior of mosquito fauna in Biradar Colony, Basvakalyan Taluka, Bidar District, Karnataka, India.
In this study, the mosquito population peaked in March and subsequently climbed from April to May 2023. Source reduction is an effective method for the community to regulate the population of various mosquitos, eradication. The significance of this work cannot be overstated in developing control methods for this major mosquito vector through good environmental planning and management, which will aid in lowering breeding habitat.
