Aedes detritus in western Algeria oviposits in irregularly flooded salty environments. The highest density of Aedes caspius eggs was found in soils with a high organic content and a salinity:organic matter ratio of < 1. We studied the relationship between oviposition abundance by both species and a number of major ecological factors along a transect. Ecological factors examined were plant species associations, vegetative cover, and soil organic content and salinity. High vegetative growth was essential for oviposition by both species. Alternatively, eggs of Ae. detritus were found in soils that had high salinity and a salinity:organic matter ratio of > 1. Conditions in northern Africa differ from those found north of the Mediterranean Sea, where oviposition is associated with climate and seasonal conditions.
阿尔及利亚西部的骚扰伊蚊在不定期被洪水淹没的咸水环境中产卵。在有机含量高且盐度与有机质之比小于1的土壤中发现了最高密度的里海伊蚊卵。我们沿着一个样带研究了这两个物种的产卵丰度与一些主要生态因子之间的关系。所研究的生态因子包括植物物种组合、植被覆盖以及土壤有机含量和盐度。高植被生长对这两个物种的产卵至关重要。另外，在盐度高且盐度与有机质之比大于1的土壤中发现了骚扰伊蚊的卵。北非的情况与地中海以北地区不同，在地中海以北地区，产卵与气候和季节条件相关。
