Patterns of seasonal variation in the relative abundance of immature Culex mosquitoes in wastewater ponds at dairies located in 2 different regions of peninsular Florida were compared. Culex nigripalpus and Cx. quinquefasciatus were by far the most common mosquitoes collected during the study (99,344 and 106,225 individuals, respectively). Within-station differences in abundance of Cx. nigripalpus and Cx. quinquefasciatus were evident depending upon time of year. There were also between-station differences in the abundances of the 2 species depending upon time of year and station. Environmental and behavioral factors are implicated in some of the observed differences. We discuss mosquito control options for dairy ponds as well as possible impacts of mosquito production from these areas to humans and to animal health and production.
比较了位于佛罗里达半岛2个不同地区奶牛场废水池塘中未成熟库蚊相对丰度的季节性变化模式。黑须库蚊和致倦库蚊是研究期间收集到的最常见蚊子（分别为99344只和106225只）。黑须库蚊和致倦库蚊在站内的丰度差异因年份不同而明显。这两个物种在不同站点的丰度也因年份和站点而异。一些观察到的差异与环境和行为因素有关。我们讨论了奶牛场池塘的蚊虫控制方案，以及这些地区蚊虫滋生对人类、动物健康和生产可能产生的影响。
