[Contribution to the study of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) of Guinea: Fauna and distribution]. / Contribution à l'étude des moustiques (Diptera: Culicidae) de la Guinée. Faune et distribution.

The authors report the results of ten years of entomological research conducted in Guinea. During this period, 84,000 larvae and 66,000 adult mosquitoes belonging to 8 different genera were captured and identified according to species or species groups. Mosquito fauna in Guinea includes almost all the known vectors of malaria and filaria in West Africa (see tables I-IV) as well as many of the known vectors of arboviruses. Four methods were used for capturing the insects, the most efficient being the use of a net in vegetation which succeeded in trapping 83% of the species described.
