Abstract:

 

Mosquitoes are temporary external parasites that suck blood and which can be disease carriers for humans and many animals in nature. In this study, the material obtained as a result of field studies carried out in Adapazarı and Söğütlü districts of Sakarya province and İzmit district of Kocaeli province between February 2018 and August 2018 were evaluated. 9 mosquito species were identified from Sakarya province. Five of these species [Anopheles plumbeus Stephens, 1828, Aedes geniculatus (Olivier, 1791), Ae. rusticus (Rossi, 1790), Ae. vexans (Meigen, 1830), Culiseta longiareolata (Macquart, 1838)] are new species for mosquito fauna in Sakarya province. The invasive species Ae. albopictus (Skuse, 1894) has been recorded for the first time from Kocaeli province and this record is the first record for Culicidae family in Kocaeli.

 

Sivrisinekler, insan ve doğadaki birçok hayvan için hastalık taşıyıcısı olabilen, kan emen, geçici dış parazitlerdir. Bu çalışmada, Sakarya ili Adapazarı ve Söğütlü ilçeleri ile Kocaeli ili İzmit ilçesinde, Şubat 2018-Ağustos 2018 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilen arazi çalışmaları sonucu elde edilen materyal değerlendirilmiştir. Sakarya ilinden 9 sivrisinek türü saptanmıştır. Bu türlerden beş tanesi [Anopheles plumbeus Stephens, 1828, Aedes geniculatus (Olivier, 1791), Ae. rusticus (Rossi, 1790), Ae. vexans (Meigen, 1830), Culiseta longiareolata (Macquart, 1838)] Sakarya sivrisinek faunası için yeni türlerdir. Kocaeli’den ise invazif sivrisinek Ae. albopictus (Skuse, 1894), ilk kez kayıt edilmiş olup, bu kayıt Kocaeli Culicidae familyası için ilk kayıt niteliğindedir.
