BACKGROUND
Mosquito-borne pathogens are important causes of diseases in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Knowledge of the mosquito fauna is needed for the appropriate control of the vectors that transmit the pathogens and prevent the diseases they cause. An important first step is to have an up-to-date list of the species known to be present in the country. Original occurrence records were obtained from published literature and critically scrutinized to compile a list of the mosquito species that occur within the borders of the Kingdom.
RESULTS
Fifty-one species have been recorded in the Kingdom; however, the occurrence of two of these species is unlikely. Thus, the mosquito fauna of the Kingdom comprises 49 species that include 18 anophelines and 31 culicines. Published records are provided for each species. Problematic records based on misidentifications and inappropriate sources are discussed and annotated for clarity.
CONCLUSION
Integrated morphological and molecular methods of identification are needed to refine the list of species and accurately document their distributions in the Kingdom.
背景
蚊媒病原体是沙特阿拉伯王国疾病的重要病因。为了适当控制传播病原体的媒介并预防由其引起的疾病，需要了解蚊虫区系。重要的第一步是拥有最新的已知存在于该国的物种清单。原始发生记录是从已发表的文献中获得的，并经过严格审查，以编制在王国境内发生的蚊子物种清单。
结果
在王国中已记录了 51 种；但是，其中两种的发生情况不太可能。因此，王国的蚊虫区系包括 49 种，其中包括 18 种按蚊和 31 种库蚊。为每个物种都提供了已发表的记录。基于错误鉴定和不适当来源的有问题的记录进行了讨论和注释，以确保清晰明了。
结论
需要综合形态学和分子鉴定方法来完善物种清单，并准确记录它们在王国的分布情况。
