Culicidae mosquitoes are main vectors of arboviruses that cause arboviral diseases in humans. Studies on fauna, ecology, biology, resting behaviors of Culicidae mosquitoes are important and greatly impacts the control of arboviral diseases that are transmitted by vectors. The aim of the present study was to determine fauna of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) based on morphological and molecular (genomic) identification and their habitats in Lorestan province, Western Iran. Meanwhile mosquito samples were examined for arbovirus infection. Culicidae mosquitoes were caught in 2015 and 2016 from human homes, animal dwellings, storehouses and pit shelters in Lorestan province, Western Iran, using an oral aspirator (hand catch), total catch, human and animal bait and light trap methods. The samples were identified on the genus and species. Six species of Culex and eight species of Anopheles were caught. One complex species ( complex) and a hybrid between biotype and biotype were identified. Among all of the trapped mosquitoes (4211), 94.68% were from genus Culex mosquitoes (3987), which indicate that this genus is the dominant in Lorestan province, Western Iran. Anopheles comprised of 201 individuals out of the total catch. Arboviruses were not detected in these samples.
蚊科蚊子是在人类中引起虫媒病毒病的虫媒病毒的主要传播媒介。对蚊科蚊子的动物区系、生态学、生物学、栖息行为进行研究很重要，且对控制由媒介传播的虫媒病毒病有很大影响。本研究的目的是基于形态学和分子（基因组）鉴定来确定伊朗西部洛雷斯坦省蚊子（双翅目：蚊科）的动物区系及其栖息地。同时，对蚊子样本进行虫媒病毒感染检测。2015年和2016年，在伊朗西部洛雷斯坦省，使用吸蚊器（手工捕捉）、全捕法、人畜诱饵法和诱蚊灯法，从人类住所、动物居所、仓库和坑式避难所捕获蚊科蚊子。对样本进行属和种的鉴定。捕获了6种库蚊和8种按蚊。鉴定出一个复合种（复合种）以及生物型和生物型之间的一个杂交种。在所有捕获的蚊子（4211只）中，94.68%来自库蚊属蚊子（3987只），这表明该属在伊朗西部洛雷斯坦省占主导地位。按蚊在总捕获量中占201只。在这些样本中未检测到虫媒病毒。
