The presence of mosquitoes in a certain area is sufficient evidence of the transmission of diseases, in addition to the inconvenience and harassment they cause to the population. In order for mosquito control to be successful, there must be sufficient reports and information about the extent of the distribution and spread of the mosquito in this area. This study was conducted seasonally to calculate the distribution and abundance of mosquitoes and to initially detect hepatitis C virus in the most abundant species collected in some localities: Kafr Saqr (Hanot, El-Kodah, Abo Shokok, El-Hagarsa); Abo Kebeer (Manshat Radwan, Bane Aiat, Al-Rahmania, Horbat); Diarb Negm (Safor, El-Asaied, Karmot Sahbara, Saft Zreka); and El-Zakazik (Om El-Zein, Bany Amer, Al-Zankalon, Shanbrt El-Mimona) along Sharkia Governorate. According to the results, 12 mosquito species belonging to two genera were recorded in four stations (16 sites). The species was found to be the most abundant across the majority of locations. It is reaching its peak in Al-Zankalon with a maximum count of 139 ± 7.61 individuals. exhibited a significant level of abundance ( < 0.001), especially in Al-Rahmania (82.5 ± 4.3). Species such as and were found in moderate-to-low numbers. The prevailing species is in all locations and seasons, especially during the summer. Other species like and are also important, although their significance is somewhat less pronounced. Clusters of sites with similar features indicate that specific locations or species exhibit consistent patterns of activity or abundance throughout several seasons. These clusters represent groups of locations that share similar characteristics, as determined by the principal components. The findings of detecting hepatitis C virus in (the most abundant species) collected samples showed negative results for the presence of HCV during the summer season in Sharkia Governorate.
某地区存在蚊子，这不仅给当地居民带来不便和骚扰，也是疾病传播的充分证据。为了成功控制蚊子，必须有关于该地区蚊子分布范围和扩散程度的充分报告及信息。本研究按季节进行，旨在计算蚊子的分布和数量，并初步检测在一些地区（卡弗尔·萨克（哈诺特、埃尔·科达、阿博·绍库克、埃尔·哈加萨）；阿博·凯比尔（曼沙特·拉德万、巴内·艾亚特、拉赫曼尼亚、霍尔巴特）；迪亚卜·内格姆（萨福尔、埃尔·阿赛德、卡尔莫特·萨巴拉、萨夫特·泽雷卡）；以及宰卡齐克（乌姆·泽因、巴尼·阿梅尔、赞卡隆、尚布尔·埃尔·米蒙纳））采集的数量最多的蚊子种类中丙型肝炎病毒的情况。根据结果，在四个站点（16个地点）记录到属于两个属的12种蚊子。该物种在大多数地点数量最多。在赞卡隆达到峰值，最高计数为139±7.61只。显示出显著的数量水平（<0.001），尤其是在拉赫曼尼亚（82.5±4.3）。和等物种数量为中低水平。在所有地点和季节中占主导地位的物种是，尤其是在夏季。和等其他物种也很重要，尽管其重要性稍弱。具有相似特征的地点集群表明，特定地点或物种在几个季节中表现出一致的活动或数量模式。这些集群代表了由主要成分确定的具有相似特征的地点组。在（数量最多的物种）采集样本中检测丙型肝炎病毒的结果显示，在夏季宰卡齐克省未检测到HCV阳性结果。
