| dc.description.abstract | Prior to implementing vector control, it is always important to have baseline information about the species present and their densities. This study was conducted in selected areas of Gobu Sayo district East Wollega Zone, West Oromia, Ethiopia between September and August; 2018. It was intended to identify mosquito species present and estimate their abundance. Hand collection, spray sheet collection and hand net collection methods were used. It was investigated that Anopheles; Culex and Aedes mosquitoes are widely found in the study areas. The mosquitoes belong to Family Culicidae ;- ( subfamily anophelinae and culicinae). Those mosquitoes were morphologically identified by using identification key under compound microscope based on their morphological characteristics. Anopheles were 600, the most predominant in all the selected areas. The second most abundant was culicine mosquitoes 260 followed by Aedes 40. Generally, 900 individual adult mosquitoes were sampled from the three kebeles. The main rainy season usually extends from June to August and short rainy season occurs in March to May. The mosquitoes appear abundantly following the short rainy season (March to May) and the main rainy season (September to December). The principal malaria vectors, female Anopheles mosquitoes are abundant in the district. | en_US |
