Nigeria has a high burden of vector borne diseases such as malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF). This study aimed to determine the species composition of mosquitoes in Ibadan, Southwest Nigeria as well as determine their role in malaria and LF transmission. Adult mosquitoes were collected by Pyrethrum Spray Catch (PSC) and identified and graded according to their abdominal conditions. The mosquitoes were dissected to determine the parity status and to check for microfilariae of . The presence of circumsporozoite protein of was examined using ELISA. A total of 1600 mosquitoes were collected of which 31 (1.9%) were s.l. while 1756 (98%) were sp. None of the mosquitoes examined was positive for and . The lack of adequate sanitary conditions in the area could be responsible for the large number of mosquitoes collected. Health education could help in sensitizing the inhabitants.
尼日利亚疟疾和淋巴丝虫病(LF)等病媒传播疾病负担沉重。本研究旨在确定尼日利亚西南部伊巴丹的蚊子种类组成,并确定它们在疟疾和淋巴丝虫病传播中的作用。采用除虫菊酯喷雾捕获法(PSC)收集成年蚊子,并根据其腹部状况进行鉴定和分级。解剖蚊子以确定其孕卵状态并检查是否存在的微丝蚴。使用酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)检测的环子孢子蛋白的存在情况。共收集到1600只蚊子,其中31只(1.9%)为按蚊复合组,1756只(98%)为其他蚊种。所检查的蚊子均未检测到和呈阳性。该地区卫生条件不足可能是收集到大量蚊子的原因。健康教育有助于提高居民的认识。
