Sažetak

Background and Purpose: The city of Osijek is well known as city of
molesting mosquitoes. The investigation was done with the purpose of establishing a scientific basis for modern mosquito control. In this paper the results of a 10 year investigation of mosquitoes in Osijek (Croatia, south Panonnian Plain) are presented.

Materials and Methods: Dry-ice baited CDC traps were used for
samling. The traps were placed on 9 localities in the city of Osijek and were acive 22–24 hours a day. The traps were active twice a month (May–Sep) during ten years (1995–2004) and sampled 207.136 specimens of mosquioes.

Results and Conclusions: In the sampled material 20 species of mosquitoes were determined. The most numerous species was Aedes vexans which represented 75.59% of the fauna in the area. Most of the species (11) were present throughout the whole, and only 2 species appeared at the beginning of season. The mosquito fauna is very rich with domination of one species.
