Abstract

Abstract. PratiwiR, AnwarC, Salni,Hermansyah, Novrikasari, GhiffariA, PutraR, HudaA.2019. Species diversity and community composition of mosquitoes in a filariasis endemic area in Banyuasin District, South Sumatra, Indonesia.Biodiversitas 20: 453-462.Mosquitoes arewell knownasthe most medically important arthropod vectors which should be monitored and evaluated because of their potential to transmit diseases. One step in monitoring and evaluation could be conducted by assessing the presence of prevalent mosquito’svectors including their species diversity and composition. The present study has successfully recorded the diversity and community composition of mosquitoes in two villages in Banyuasin District, South SumatraProvince, Indonesia. The research was conducted for four monthsfrom December 2016 to March 2017 by collecting mosquitoes using Indoor and Outdoor Human Landing Collection method(HLC). The result shows that there were 8239 mosquitoes collected consisting of 12 genera and 38 species. Mansoniais found as the most dominant genus in Sedang Village, while in Muara Sugih Village, Culexis the most dominant. Assessment on species diversity showed that Sedang Villagehaes higher diversity compared to Muara Sugih Village. Further analysis indicates that environmental characteristics and presence of water plant play important role in the diversity, abundance, and dominance of mosquitoes. Waterlogged area covered with Pistia stratiotesin Sedang Villagelikely facilitate the breeding of Mansoniaspp while extensive rice field in Muara Sugih Villagemay enable the high numbers of Culexspp. Anopheles spp. and Aedesspp. mosquitoes. The findings of this study suggest the rationale for the high cases of filariasis in Banyuasin District. Future research should be directed to reveal mosquitoes’ dispersal pattern and its potential as disease vector, the risk of transmitted disease, and further prevention to reduce the number of filariasis cases
