Abstract:
Mosquitoes and larvae were investigated in the forests, edges of forest and other landscapes in the jungles of U Minh Thuong and U Minh Ha during two years of 2002 and 2003. A total of 15 species (24.19% of total mosquitoes species found throughout the country and 37.5% of those in the Southern Vietnam) was found, some of which were typical species of the water forest fauma. A mingle species composition of flood plain forest fauna with presence of An. paraliae, An. umbrosus, An. separatus... and coastal brackish fauma with An. sundaucus and An. nimpe found in the study sites suggests that the forests narrowness, forest fires and other ecological damages have caused the changes of species composition and distribution of mosquitoes of forest fauna
