The College of Education for Pure Sciences, Department of Life Sciences, organized a scientific lecture on the diagnosis and seasonal distribution of some species of the mosquito family in Basra Governorate
The lecture presented by the researcher (Warwar Hamid Abd) included 2 -
 Collecting and isolating the aquatic stages of mosquitoes (eggs, larvae and pupae) from the aquatic environment and the adults from the same places where the immature stages were collected to know the prevalence and presence of mosquito species in the areas of Basra Governorate
Diagnosis of immature and adult stages by adopting special taxonomic keys and drawing samples using Lucida camera and photographing them with a digital camera.
Confirmation of phenotypic diagnosis using scanning electron microscopy technique for immature instars, especially the fourth larval instar.
Studying some physical and chemical properties of the aquatic environment such as temperature, salinity, pH and the amount of dissolved oxygen and estimating the annual presence of larval instars.
