Abstract
Mosquito surveillance helps in mosquito-borne disease prevention. Recently, Vijay Laxmi et al., (2026) reported mosquito larval surveillance in three different ponds, viz., Ratauli, Mandebar, and Kheri Ranghran ponds in the Yamuna Nagar City in three different seasons namely, winter, summer, Monsoon and Post- Monsoon. It was found that Kheri Ranghran pond had highest density of mosquito in post -Monsoon season. The study was thus designed to understand the mosquito prevalence in various houses in various locations, near the pond Kheri Ranghran village at various parts of the Yamuna Nagar city. For the purpose, total mosquito catch was carried out for night once in a month throughout the year (April, 2024- March 2025). Further the adult mosquitoes were identified. The adult Anopheles, Aedes, and Culex mosquitoes were collected using UV-based mosquito traps and total catch/night in each month from April, 2024 to March, 2025 from the city. Results revealed that the Culex was the most dominant mosquitoes in all the months. Area plot of Culex is mostly occupied gave a bimodal curve with two peaks with one in August and February. The mosquito prevalence is shaped by a synergistic interaction between seasonal variations. The difference with the mosquito breeding pond, Kheri Ranghran showed weak positive correlation with Culex catch.
