Abstract | An investigation of the relationship between the seasonal prevalence and the relative abundance of Culex species was carried out in the Udaipur district of Rajasthan, India. There were 777 Culex mosquitoes discovered between April 2021 and March 2023. Four distinct species of Culex have been identified from various locations within the district of Udaipur. The findings showed that Culex quinquefasciatus had a high relative abundance (45.43%), followed by Culex pseudovishnui (35.52% ), Culex vaganus (14.02%), and Culex whitei (5.01%). Seasonally, the rainy season (April 2021 to March 2023) had the largest abundance of Culex species (40.92%), followed by the summer season (36.16%) and the winter season (22.90%). The research area's seasonal prevalence of Culex species is mostly caused by fluctuations in temperature, relative humidity, and average rainfall throughout the year, as indicated by the climatic parameters. The findings demonstrated that variations in climate, demography, and geography affect the population dynamics of Culex vectors. The study's findings indicated that correct and efficient mass surveillance as well as appropriate mosquito control measures must be implemented immediately in these vulnerable areas. |
