Of the total number of species of animals inhabiting our planet 2/3 are insects with at least 1 million species. Diptera are bloodsucking insects. This review article considers medical significance of bloodsucking dipterous insects – mosquitoes (fam. Culicidae). It is important for understanding the entomological risk of bloodsucking dipterous insects-borne disease transmission. At present, it has been registered that mosquitoes (fam. Culicidae) transfer more than 50 viral and parasitic diseases. Control measures are personal, protection against mosquito bites and destruction of larval forms and places of fertility.

Abstract
Of the total number of species of animals inhabiting our planet 2/3 are insects with at least 1 million species. Diptera are bloodsucking insects. This review article considers medical significance of bloodsucking dipterous insects – mosquitoes (fam. Culicidae). It is important for understanding the entomological risk of bloodsucking dipterous insects-borne disease transmission. At present, it has been registered that mosquitoes (fam. Culicidae) transfer more than 50 viral and parasitic diseases. Control measures are personal, protection against mosquito bites and destruction of larval forms and places of fertility.File in questo prodotto:
