Impact of peri-urban pig farms on mosquito community structure in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

ABSTRACT: Livestock-keeping in peri-urban areas might influence mosquito-borne diseases by attracting more mosquitoes or by diverting mosquitoes from feeding on humans. In this study, we compared the mosquito community structure across pig farms, human settlements around pig farms, and human settlements without pig farms in peri-urban areas of Yogyakarta. We collected mosquitoes using ultraviolet light traps from three large pig farms (10 traps), 120 human settlements near pig farms (20 traps), and 120 human settlements without pig farms (20 traps) in Yogyakarta. The adult mosquitoes were morphologically identified using taxonomic keys. Polymerase chain reaction was used only to identify damaged and unidentified mosquito specimens using the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene marker. A total
