| Popis: | Three species of mosquitoes, Culex pipiens L., Culiseta annulata Schrk. and Uranotaenia unguiculata Edw., were found in halls and subbasements of the high-rise buildings in Odessa city. Buildings with moist subbasements are suitable biotopes for mosquitoes round the year. Number of the mosquitoes from the fist to fifth floors of buildings declines. The mosquitoes spread from occupied moist living buildings to dry ones. The mosquitoes attack humans, rats and pigeons. Firstly in Ukraine the ecological type of Culex pipiens – C. p. pipiens f. molestus as a vector of the West Nile virus was found in the urban area. |
