The analysis of variance of different mosquito genera
collected in the month of October, 2011, revealed
significant difference (F=6.27; df=2, 8; P<0.05). The
mean comparison test (LSD) for different mosquito
genera is presented in the Table 4. The results revealed
that
Aedes
sp. (73.400) and
Culex
sp. (93.600) genera
were the most prevalent, both were statistically at par,
followed by genus
Anopheles
spp. (18.600). The
analysis of variance of different mosquito genera
collected in the month of November, 2011, revealed
non- significant difference (F=1.41; df=2, 8; P>0.05).
The mean comparison test (LSD) for different
mosquito genera is presented in the Table 4. In the
month of December and January, no population of
mosquitoes was found in the campus. The analysis of
variance of different mosquito genera collected in the
month of February 2012 revealed non-significant
difference (F=1.98; df=2, 8; P>0.05). The mean
comparison test (LSD) for different mosquito genera
is presented in the Table 4.
