is a salt-tolerant euryhaline mosquito that lays its eggs in rock pools. Although it is a pest that can transmit flaviviruses and filarial worms to humans, ecological studies have not been previously conducted because of its limited habitat. However, rising sea levels have created a more favorable environment for , increasing the risk of -borne diseases. We examined the oviposition and growth rates of at 0-35 psu to obtain ecological data. It exhibited the highest oviposition preference at 0 psu; however, the hatching rate was highest at 10 psu, the pupation rate was highest at 25 psu, and the emergence rate was highest at 5 psu. showed the highest rate of growth into adults at 25 psu. The results were assessed using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests (post hoc test: Bonferroni), and a regression equation was generated for the incidence of adult based on the change in salinity ( = -14.318 + 9.821; = adult incidence rate; = salinity). The oviposition habits and developmental conditions of were confirmed, and the incidence of based on changes in sea level and ocean salinity was predicted. The results of this study will be useful for controlling salt-tolerant vectors and responding to vector-borne diseases.
是一种耐盐广盐性蚊子，在岩池中产卵。尽管它是一种能将黄病毒和丝虫传播给人类的害虫，但由于其栖息地有限，此前尚未进行过生态研究。然而，海平面上升为其创造了更有利的环境，增加了由其传播疾病的风险。我们研究了在0 - 35 psu盐度下的产卵和生长速率以获取生态数据。它在0 psu时表现出最高的产卵偏好；然而，孵化率在10 psu时最高，化蛹率在25 psu时最高，羽化率在5 psu时最高。在25 psu时发育为成虫的速率最高。结果使用曼 - 惠特尼U检验和克鲁斯卡尔 - 沃利斯H检验（事后检验：邦费罗尼）进行评估，并根据盐度变化生成了基于成虫发生率的回归方程（y = -14.318 + 9.821x；y = 成虫发生率；x = 盐度）。确定了其产卵习性和发育条件，并预测了基于海平面和海洋盐度变化的其发生率。本研究结果将有助于控制耐盐病媒并应对病媒传播疾病。
