the Sudan (Anopheles, Culex and Aedes). This study was conducted in
Kosti and Jabalain towns, White Nile State, Sudan, during August to
December 2015, to determine species composition of mosquitoes in
different breeding habitats. Immature stages were reared to the adult
stage and identified. Immature stages of mosquitoes were collected by
the dipping method, from three residential areas in the two towns.
Immature stages from the same habitats were reared to the adult stage
for identification purposes. The results revealed that the dominant
adult species were Anopheles gambiae complex followed by Culex
quinquefasciatus and Cx. univittatus. An. gambiae complex were
higher in Jabalain (28.3±2.2) than in Kosti (10.7±1.1) while Cx.
quinquefasciatus was higher in Kosti (8.4±101) than in Jabalain
(0.7±0.3). Other species recorded in low numbers in a descending order
were Cx. theileri, Cx. pipiens, An. pharoensis, An. rufipes, An.
funestus, An. squamosus, Cx. duttoni, Aedes unilineatus and Ae.
aegypti. Additional studies are recommended to be carried out to
update mosquito specie in other areas habitats of White Nile State. | | Keywords : | | | Breeding habitats, Dipping method, Mosquitoes species,
