The aim of this study is to identify the mosquito species that currently exist and their distributions in Kosovo in order to determine current potential endemic zones and areas at a higher risk for future epidemics. These scientific data will be shared with public health authorities for implementing mosquito control programs. During a two-year period of monitoring in 48 localities in 23 provinces in Kosovo, a total of 1,604 mosquitoes representing 13 species and six genera were collected and morphologically identified. Members of species complexes were also classified to species using DNA barcoding. In total, 13 species were identified with Culex pipiens s.l., the predominant species with an abundance rate of 39%. The remaining 12 species identified were grouped into five genera: Anopheles, Aedes, Coquillettidia, Culiseta, Uranotaenia, including species that are vectors of arboviruses in other parts of the world.
本研究的目的是确定科索沃目前存在的蚊种及其分布情况，以便确定当前潜在的地方病流行区和未来疫情风险较高的地区。这些科学数据将与公共卫生当局共享，以实施蚊虫控制计划。在对科索沃23个省份的48个地点进行为期两年的监测期间，共收集并通过形态学鉴定了1604只蚊子，它们分属于13个物种和6个属。还利用DNA条形码技术将复合种的成员分类到具体物种。总共鉴定出13个物种，其中尖音库蚊复合组是优势种，丰度率为39%。鉴定出的其余12个物种分为5个属：按蚊属、伊蚊属、柯氏蚊属、库蠓属、蓝带蚊属，包括在世界其他地区作为虫媒病毒传播媒介的物种。
