The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of the rural and urban microclimate on the presence of mosquitoes. Temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH; indoors and outdoors), as well as mosquito richness and abundance were measured in two sites (urban and rural) of the Yucatan State, Mexico. Species richness was higher in the urban site, whereas mosquito abundance was higher in the rural site. The microclimates of urban and rural housing differently affect mosquito richness and abundance. Mosquito richness and abundance were higher outdoors than indoors in the urban site, but they were higher indoors than outdoors in the rural site. For the urban site, analysis of the relation of T and RH with the registered parameters revealed that species richness increased with increasing indoor RH, and that mosquito abundance increased with increasing indoor T and RH. In the rural site, species richness was not affected, but abundance increased with increasing T and RH (indoors as well as outdoors). Results are discussed in the context of the management of mosquito transmitted diseases. No IRB approval was necessary since no ethical implications were identified to be reviewed by the ethical committee for the research of the ECOSUR Institution.
本研究旨在分析农村和城市小气候对蚊子存在的影响。在墨西哥尤卡坦州的两个地点（城市和农村）测量了温度（T）和相对湿度（RH；室内和室外）以及蚊子的丰富度和丰度。城市地点的物种丰富度更高，而农村地点的蚊子丰度更高。城市和农村住房的小气候对蚊子的丰富度和丰度有不同的影响。城市地点的蚊子丰富度和丰度在户外高于室内，但在农村地点的蚊子丰富度和丰度则是室内高于户外。对于城市地点，T 和 RH 与登记参数之间的关系分析表明，物种丰富度随室内 RH 的增加而增加，而蚊子丰度随室内 T 和 RH 的增加而增加。在农村地点，物种丰富度不受影响，但丰度随 T 和 RH（室内和室外）的增加而增加。结果在管理蚊子传播疾病的背景下进行了讨论。由于 ECOSUR 机构的研究伦理委员会没有发现需要审查的伦理问题，因此不需要 IRB 批准。
