Mosquito collections were conducted in Zika Forest near Entebbe, Uganda, from July 2009 through June 2010 using CO2-baited light traps, ovitraps, and human-baited catches. In total, 163,790 adult mosquitoes belonging to 12 genera and 58 species were captured. Of these, 22 species (38%) were captured in Zika Forest for the first time. All the new records found in the forest in this study had previously been captured in other regions of Uganda, implying that they are native to the country and do not represent new introductions. More than 20 species previously collected in Zika Forest were not detected in our collections, and this may suggest a change in the mosquito fauna during the past 40 yr or variation in species composition from year to year. Arboviruses of public health importance have previously been isolated from >50% of the 58 mosquito species captured in Zika Forest, which suggests ahigh potential for transmission and maintenance of a wide range of arboviruses in Zika Forest.
从 2009 年 7 月到 2010 年 6 月，在乌干达恩德培附近的 Zika 森林中，使用 CO2 诱饵灯、诱卵器和人诱捕法进行了蚊子采集。共捕获了 163790 只属于 12 属和 58 种的成年蚊子。其中，有 22 种（38%）是首次在 Zika 森林中捕获的。本研究在森林中发现的所有新记录以前都曾在乌干达的其他地区捕获过，这表明它们是该国的本地物种，并非新引入的物种。在我们的采集过程中，以前在 Zika 森林中采集到的 20 多种蚊子没有被检测到，这可能表明在过去的 40 年中蚊子区系发生了变化，或者每年的物种组成都有所不同。以前从 Zika 森林中捕获的 58 种蚊子中有超过 50%分离到了具有公共卫生重要性的虫媒病毒，这表明 Zika 森林中虫媒病毒的传播和维持范围很广。
