    This study investigated mosquito breeding in tree holes in Vadakara Taluk, India from June to December 2009. [1] 100% of the 100 tree holes surveyed contained mosquito breeding. [2] The most common and abundant species breeding was Aedes albopicus, the vector for dengue and chikungunya. [3] Other species identified breeding included Heizmannia chandi, Culex brevipalpis, Armigeres subalbatus, and the predatory mosquito Toxorhynchites splendens. The study emphasizes the importance of tree holes as mosquito breeding sites that should be targeted in control strategies.

    INTRODUCTION
    _ Mosquitoes are the most important insect disease
    vectors responsible for about 2 million deaths
    annually
    _ Of the 3000 known species about 100 are vectors
    _ Mosquitoes breed in variety of breeding sites
    _ Aedes mosquitoes are container breeders
    _ Tree-holes are natural container breeding sites
    _ The present study was carried out to reveal the
    significance of tree-holes as mosquito breeding
    sites
    _ The study was conducted from June-December
    2009
    ÚTUDY AREA
    _ Vadakara Taluk (Kozhikode district)
    METHODOLOGY
    _ Trees were surveyed randomly for holes in three
    localities in Vadakara Taluk (Madappally,
    Mukkali and Chekkiad)
    _ Tree-holes up to a height of 6 feet were surveyed
    for mosquito breeding
    _ Water from the hole siphoned out using a plastic
    tube into containers
    _ Úamples transferred to the laboratory for
    mosquito emergence and identification
    _ Identified under stereomicroscope using standard
    keys (Barraud, 1934)

    DIÚCUÚÚION
    _ 100% of tree-holes were positive for mosquito-
    breeding. Hence it is an important category of
    breeding sites
    _ Ê   
    /the vector for Dengue and
    Chikungunya was found breeding in all tree-holes
    surveyed. They were also the most abundant species.
    _  
       /the predator mosquito was
    also found breeding in 15% of the tree-holes, which
    may be used as a control agent
    _ The study emphasizes the need of including tree-
    holes in the anti-mosquito strategy of public health
    authorities
    _ More research is needed to formulate effective control
    strategies in these neglected breeding sites.
