Abstract

Odisha state is highly endemic for malaria since long. Among different malaria vectors, Anopheles subpictus is known to be one of the most prevalent species that breeds in a variety of fresh as well as saline water habitats. The study of the distribution of mosquitoes, both in natural and anthropologically disturbed areas, is of considerable importance due to their role in pathogen transmission. The main objective of the current study was to detect the breeding habitat diversity of An. subpictus. Different larval habitats for Anopheles mosquitoes were surveyed every month in the year 2016. The anopheline larvae were collected using the standard dipping method. The specimens were identified using morphological keys. The result showed indoor/outdoor breeding ratio was 1.16 for An. subpictus. The most productive breeding site for An. subpictus was earthen pot and cement tank. The Container Index (CI) was found more in indoor and House Index (HI) was found more in outdoor studies respectively. It was also noticed that the prevalence of An. subpictus was more in July to September and January to February, which might be because of variations in rainfall due to low pressure, especially during January and February. The current study provides a better understanding of the characteristics of various aquatic habitats and breeding preferences by mosquitoes which can be useful for improving larval source management operations for the control of mosquito vectors.
