[Blood-sucking mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) in the northern part of Udmurtia].
Breeding sites and number of man-attacking mosquitos were studied in 1986-1987 in recreation areas in the north of Udmurt ASSR. Some sanitary-prophylaxis measures are recommended basing on the knowledge of breeding and activity periods of man-biting mosquitos. Studies of the probable breeding sites of blood-sucking mosquitos were performed in 1986-1987 in the vicinity of pioneer camps "Zvezdochka", "Lastochka", the tourist base "Cheptsa" and Institute's sports camp in the north of the Udmurt ASSR. It was established that water basins in the floodlands of the Cheptsa River and its confluents, featuring rising water level during the floods, were the largest breeding sites of mosquitos. The most numerous species of man-biting mosquitos were Ae. cantans, Ae. punctor, the most common ones were Ae. excrucians, Ae. cinereus and Ae. vexans. Most of the mosquitos attacked in the second half of June--first half of August.
