Abstract

Mosquitoes live in accordance to physical and biological environment. The aim of this study was to find out the diversity of mosquito larvae. The study was conducted on September 29 to October 31, 2014. Data was collected in six types of sampling locations, which are forest sampling location near settlements, forest sampling location located remotely from settlements, non-forest sampling location near settlements, non-forest sampling location located remotely from settlements, coastal area sampling location near settlements, and coastal sampling location located remotely from settlements. Mosquito larvae breeding sites in forest sampling location located remotely from settlements were river, rock holes, taro leaf axil, and coconut shells. In this breeding site, there were Anopheles, Uranotaenia, and Aedes larvae found. Breeding sites in non-forest sampling location near settlements were river, bamboo, taro leaf axil, and larvae found were four, namely; Anopheles, Culex, Malaya, and Uranotaenia. Breeding sites in non-forest sampling location located remotely from settlements were river, banana leaf axil and coconut shells, and the mosquito larvae found were four, namely; Anopheles, Culex, Armigeres, and Aedes. In coastal sampling location located near settlements, breeding sites were puddles, ponds, banana and taro leaf axil, river, mangrove, and ponds, and the mosquito larvae found were four, namely; Anopheles, Culex, Mansonia, and Aedes. Breeding sites of coastal sampling location located remotely from settlements were dikes and the mosquito larvae found were only two, namely; Anopheles and Culex. Characteristics of mosquito larvae breeding places were specific.
