Abstract

Mosquitoes are small, midge like that constitute the family Culicidae. Females of most species are ectoparasite, whose tube like mouthparts (called as Proboscis )pierce the host skin to Suck blood.Anopheles mosquitoes are the only species known to carry malaria Culex mosqutioes carry encephalitis, filariasis ,and the west nile virus and Aedes mosqutios of which the voracious Asian tiger is a member carry, yellow fever, dengue and encephalitis. Present study deals with perfect baseline data about mosquito in Amravati city ultimate idea of the study is to suggest that management of mosquito in study aera diversity of the family culicidae found in four genera i.e. anopheles ,Culex ,Armigers and Aedes . From the selected study area of Amravati city total collected number of mosquito, the diversity of the mosquito, diversity of the family is found in order, Culex,> Anopheles> Aedes> Armigeres in the month of October 2012 to march 2013 the female mosquito are observed in more number than that their male mosquito. Twelve (12) mosquito species recorded it comes under in four genera Anopheles annularies, Anopheles subpictus ,Aedes aegypti and Culex univittutus are common found at all the sites of study area of Amravati.
