Nadia Oussad born on March,7th,1992, I am a PhD studentin applied entomology at Mouloud Mammeri University. Iam interested in the biodiversity of Culicidae and control techniques, IAM currently working on the factors influencing the distribution of mosquitoes, my reaching field is zoology and parasitology.

The characterization of the larval habitat of these arthropods is an important step for a nuisance/vector control program. In this study we aimed to identify mosquito larvae species in the Tizi-Ouzou area (north-central of Algeria) and to examine the physico-chemical parameters of their permanent breeding sites. Surveys are carried out during the dry and rainy seasons (2018/2019), the larval stages of the mosquitoes were sampled using the dipping technique and the physico-chemical parameters of the breeding sites were measured. The morpho-taxonomic examination of the Culicidae samples allowed the identification of 14 species belonging to five genera and two subfamilies. Interestingly, Culex pipiens was the most abundant species found in all entomological surveys. Moreover, Culex pipiens and Culiseta longiareolat...
