چکیده   

background: mosquitoes lay eggs in a wide range of habitats with different physicochemical parameters. ecological data, including physicochemical factors of oviposition sites, play an important role in integrated vector management. those data help the managers to make the best decision in controlling the aquatic stages of vectors especially using source reduction.

methods: to study some physicochemical characteristics of larval habitat waters, an investigation was carried out in qom province, central iran, during spring and summer 2008 and 2009. water samples were collected during larval collection from ten localities. the chemical parameters of water samples were analyzed based on mg/l using standard methods. water temperature (°c), turbidity (ntu), total dissolved solids (ppm), electrical conductivity (µs/cm), and acidity (ph) were measured using digital testers. thermotolerant coliforms of water samples were analyzed based on mpn/100ml. data were assessed by kruskal-wallis test and spearman correlation analysis.

results: in total, 371 mosquito larvae were collected including 14 species representing four genera. some physico­chemical parameters of water in emamzadeh esmail, qomrood, qom city, and rahjerd showed significant differ­ences among localities (p< 0.05). the physicochemical and microbial parameters did not show any significant dif­ferences among different species (p> 0.05). there was no significant correlation between the abundance of larvae and the different physicochemical and microbial parameters (p> 0.05).

conclusion: the means of ec, tds, and phosphate of localities and species were remarkably higher than those of the previous studies. other parameters seem to be in the range of other investigations.
