[Fauna and ecology of blood-sucking mosquitoes (Culicidae) in the northern taiga of the Sverdlovsk region].
20 species of blood-sucking mosquitoes were recorded from the northern taiga of Ural (the northern part of the Sverdlovsk region): 15 species of the genus Aedes, 2 species of Culex, 2 species of Culiseta and 1 species of Anopheles. Larvae of Aedes occur in masse in small temporary water bodies. In summer after rains larvae of Culiseta and Culex as well as some species of Aedes appear. In May overhibernated Culiseta alaskaensis, C. bergrothi and An. maculipennis begin the flight of mosquitoes. The peak of the number and specific variety of attacking mosquitoes was recorded in July; in August their activity started to decrease. Aedes communis and A. punctor are mass species, A. excrucians, A. hexodontus and C. bergrothi are rather abundant, the other species are small in number or rare.
