| Abstract | ||
| Effect of climatic factors on mosquitoes abundance in Jizan province was studied through this research reporting that rainfall rate was the most effective and significant factor (P>0.01, r= 0.459), as well as, the presence of two peaks of mosquito activity which were attained yearly (February–April and July–September) after a rainy season in the frequently visited sites. On the other hand, mosquito activity was increased in occasionally visited sites in winter rather than that of summer season. | ||
