ABSTRACT
The present study aimed to demonstrate the relationship of some environmental factors, vegetation greenness index (NDVI) and land surface temperature (LST), with the seasonal variations of Mansonia bonneae and Ma. uniformis in Khosit Subdistrict, Narathiwat Province. It was found that the Mansonia population lagged one month behind but correlated positively to NDVI, LST and rainfall. A rise in the number of mosquitoes was directly related to a rise in vegetation, temperature and rainfall.
