title: [The relation of the degree of water salinity to oviposition by female blood-sucking mosquitoes].
abstract: Anopheles sacharovi, An. atropatvus, An. pulcherrimus, An. superpictus. An. stephensi, Culex pipiens females to prefer fresh water for their oviposition. The differences between them are that the An.stephensi and Culex pipiens avoid high salinity values more frequently than other species. The eggs of a all the species studied do not survive at 2% salinity. The An. sacharovi eggs are more resistant to salinity while the An. pulcherrimus ones are less resistant. Nevertheless, the females of all the species oviposited a quantity into the significant salinity water obviously unsuited to the development of preimaginal stages.
