Anopheles or malaria mosquito in Russia represented 10 species that live in the European part and in Western Siberia.Eastern Siberia to live this kind is not suitable, because too cold winters kill them.Anopheles mosquito has a long history - archaeologists have discovered two types of fossil ancestors of insects.Often considered a great anopheles mosquito crane flies.But it is not.The size of the malaria mosquito is little different from the usual.If no peer closely, both species are virtually identical.How to distinguish a mosquito of the ordinary?It has longer legs, tentacles on their heads are almost equal to the length of the proboscis, the wings there are dark spots, insect landing on the skin perpendicularly to the surface.
Like all representatives of the Diptera, Anopheles are 4 stages of development: egg, larva, pupa and adult.The first three are held in reservoirs and lasts from one week to two, depending on the climate zone and the weather conditions.It follows the life of an insect lasts an average of a couple of weeks.During this time, a female defer time to 50 to 200 eggs that one float on the water surface.After 3-4 days under favorable conditions, the larvae emerge from them.They actively feed, grow and at some point thrown off the old skin, turning into a pupa.Life mosquito at the pupal stage as long.Its shell is cracked and the light appears imago, fully formed and ready for independent living.
malarial mosquitoes in Russia appears after wintering in April, but until the middle of summer, the number of insects is extremely small.The highest number observed since July and until the autumn.Malaria mosquitoes are nocturnal.Their active life begins and lasts from dusk until dawn.In the daytime, Anopheles avoid illuminated places available wind and kept shaded and protected spaces.Most of all, they are suitable for this accommodation.According to the latest WHO data, malarial mosquitoes carry about 150 viruses of different diseases, of which about fifty can affect the human body.Incidentally, an interesting fact: the AIDS virus malarial mosquitoes do not carry, because the micro-organism in the stomach just killed the insect.
malarial mosquitoes in Russia is dangerous to humans in terms of possible contamination not only malaria but also other infections.Until 1917, the territory of our state each year were recorded up to 8 million cases.By the 50th year in the Soviet Union it was believed that the disease is completely defeated, but in the 70s once again proved to be cases of malaria through the bites of insects.Today, the anopheles mosquito lives in Russia, multiplies and moves uncontrollably.Cases of malaria in the Moscow and Leningrad regions.Experts attribute these facts to the movement of migrants from southern regions.Malaria - a serious illness.It is treated only in a hospital, and in the next two years should be monitored by a doctor.
