Culicine mosquitoes in the Shadegan wetland in southwestern Iran

Region: Iran

Taxon: Culicid

Type: occurrence

Why is this important: "to study the culicine mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae: Culicinae) of the Shadegan wetland in southern Khouzestan Province of Iran, sampling was carried out using hand catch, total catch, and New Jersy light traps, from October 2008 to March 2009. A total of 2664 culicine mosquitoes were captured. Three genera and five species were identified, including Culex pipiens L., Cx. tritaeniorhynchus Giles, Cx. sinaiticus Kirkpatrik, Cx. modestus Ficalbi, Ochlerotatus caspius Pallas and a Culiseta species. All of these species, reported for the first time, were from the Shadegan wetland and Khouzestan Province, and some are medically important. "…All specimens were deposited in the museum of the Department of Medical Entomology, Centre of Arthropoda Research, Razi Vaccine and the Serum Research Institute, Department of Medical Entomology and Vector control, School of Public Health, Centre of Infectious and Tropical Diseases Research Centre, Ahvaz Jundishapour University Medical Sciences (AJUMS), Ahvaz, Iran."

I've contacted the first author (S. Navidpour) to start the discussion and see if he might be interested in publishing this dataset. If so, we will need to decide where to publish it.
