Relative Abundance and Seasonal and Geographic Distribution of Coquillettidia Perturbans (Walker) Collected with Light Traps from USAF Installations in the Continental United States, 1971-1985.

Abstract

Data from the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, Medical Entomology Function's mosquito surveillance and identification program at Brooks Air Force Base, TX, were reviewed for the 15-year period of 1971-1985 for the pest mosquito, Coquillettidia perturbans, to assess nationwide seasonal and geographic distribution patterns as well as relative abundance. The 15-year total of 31,279 Cq. perturbans was received in weekly or biweekly submissions for identification from 60 USAF installations nationwide. Distribution patterns and relative abundance data are presented and discussed. Keywords: Collecting methods; Spatial distribution; Traps; Light traps. (KT)
