Question

Explain the life cycle of anopheles mosquito.

Answer 1

Mosquitoes lay eggs directly on water (Culex, Culiseta, Anopheles) or on moist substrates ( Aedes and Culiseta). In some species (Aedes), in the absence of impoundment, eggs can remain viable for several years (in quiescence). Each impoundment of the spawning area (larval location) generates the simultaneous appearance of a multitude of larvae whose aquatic development is variable according to the temperature conditions (from 5 to 90 days). Larvae live in the water.
