Observations on the D/V ratio of male genitalia of Culex pipiens complex in Amphur Muang Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand
Mosquitoes belonging to the Culex pipiens complex were collected from various locations in Amphur Muang Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand, and identified by using D/V ratios of male genitalia. Most of the mosquitoes were Cx. pipiens quinquefasciatus, having D/V ratios of 0.46 +/- 0.09. Among these mosqu...

| Summary: | Mosquitoes belonging to the Culex pipiens complex were collected from various locations in Amphur Muang Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand, and identified by using D/V ratios of male genitalia. Most of the mosquitoes were Cx. pipiens quinquefasciatus, having D/V ratios of 0.46 +/- 0.09. Among these mosquitoes, 1.23% (6/490) had D/V ratios between 0.8-0.9 These forms were considered as Cx. p. quinquefasciatus which showed extreme variations from the generally acceptable criterion. |
