The islets of Europa, Juan-de-Nova and Grande-Glorieuse are French territories isolated in the Mozambique Channel (Indian Ocean) which have remained relatively preserved from anthropization all along their history These three islets have been classified entire nature reserves from 1975 and are today inhabited only by a permanent military detachment of about fifteen men even if they occasionally greet technical and scientific staff. Sanitary and environmental issues brought about assessment of the present culicid fauna. The authors propose a synthesis of the culicid knowledge from the islets and make an inventory of new species. The role played by humans in importation of culicids is discussed as well as sanitary consequences of their adaptation to environment
欧罗巴岛、新胡安岛和大格洛里厄斯岛是位于莫桑比克海峡(印度洋)的法国领土,在其历史上一直相对未受人类活动影响。这三个岛屿自1975年起被列为完全自然保护区,如今仅有一支约15人的常驻军事分遣队居住,偶尔会有技术和科研人员到访。卫生和环境问题促使对当前蚊科动物进行评估。作者对这些岛屿的蚊科知识进行了综合,并列出了新物种清单。文中讨论了人类在蚊科动物引入过程中所起的作用以及它们适应环境后的卫生后果。
