Resumen

The mosquitoes from the Culicidae family (Insecta: Diptera) up to this moment comprise more than 3600 species in the world and are found almost in all geographical regions. They are some of the most important insects in terms of epidemiology. They are carriers of more than 50 viral and bacterial infections and parasitoses (malaria, yellow fever, viral encephalitis, dengue fever, tularemia, philariasis etc.). The latest studies of the species composition of the mosquito fauna in the region of Plovdiv date back to 1997. On the basis of research data and own preliminary studies, the entire available information has been compiled and summarized about the species composition, the ecology and the importance of mosquitoes as vectors on the territory of the city of Plovdiv, as well as in the region. The preliminary study was conducted in consecutive years (2011 and 2012) from May to October. In the period from May – December 2011 and 2012, for each of the months, samples were taken, using the method of "hand collection". For the territory of the city of Plovdiv 8 biotopes were identified. The purpose of the study is to investigate the species composition, the morphology and the biology of the mosquitoess from the Culicidae family in the urbanized biocenoses (in the city of Plovdiv). The article provides information about the species composition and the dynamics of the mosquitoes in the city of Plovdiv, about 13 species from 6 genera which have been identified so far, and about the dynamics broken down by months of the period under study.
