Mosquitoes inhabiting rockpools within supra‐littoral zones along the Mediterranean coast belong to the Aedes mariae complex (Coluzzi and Sabatini 1968, Coluzzi et al. 1974b, Schaffner et al. 2001, Mastrantonio et al. 2015). The species in the Ae. mariae complex can be responsible for vectoring bird malaria as vectors of Plasmodium relictum (Clements 1999). Furthermore, they are a biting nuisance for humans in areas densely populated by tourists from spring through autumn.

Abstract
Mosquitoes inhabiting rockpools within supra‐littoral zones along the Mediterranean coast belong to the Aedes mariae complex (Coluzzi and Sabatini 1968, Coluzzi et al. 1974b, Schaffner et al. 2001, Mastrantonio et al. 2015). The species in the Ae. mariae complex can be responsible for vectoring bird malaria as vectors of Plasmodium relictum (Clements 1999). Furthermore, they are a biting nuisance for humans in areas densely populated by tourists from spring through autumn.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
