Abstract
Ecological data are important in integrated
vector management. Studies were conducted on the fauna and ecology of Anopheles
in western Uttar Pradesh. Samples of species were collected over the period
of eight months (from February 2024 to 20 September 2024) at two villages of
Agra district. The two species of Anopheles collected- one is Anopheles
culicifacies and second is Anopheles stephensi. These species usually
rest outdoors. It has different level habitats. Both the species were active
throughout that time period with different peaks of activity, April-May and
August-September. Different time shows different response for both species. Light
traps captured a large number of mosquitoes in indoor habitat as compared to
cattle shelter in darkness places. The species were mainly exophilic in outlet
window traps.
