---

In Indonesia, mosquito transmitted diseases such as malaria, dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), and filariasis, still become main public health problems. Mosquito species which usually act as disease vector are Aedes sp. Culex sp. Anopheles sp and Mansonia sp. The aim of this study was to comprehend the mosquito fauna, bionomical and ve tor competence of Aedes sp, Culex sp, Anopheles sp and Mansonia sp and Mansonia sp at Santu’un village, Muara Uva Subdistrict. Tabalong District, South Kalimantan Province. Man Biting method using aspirator was used to capture mosquitoes, Mosquito dissection, ELISA and immunohistochemistry were performed to find microfilaria larvae, sporozoit Sp. Of Plasmodium and dengue virus, respectively. The results showed that Cx. Quinquefaciatus, Cx tritaeniorhyncus, Cx pipiens and Cx.gelidus were exophagic. Culex quinquefaciatus and Cx. Tritaeniorhyncus biting activity was began at 7-8 pm with their biting rate were 102.5 and 44.5 mosquitoes/person/night, respectively. Anopheles umbrosus was endophagic. Its biting activity peaked at 8-9 pm with its biting rate was 0.5 mosquito/person/night. Meanwhile, An. Nigerimus and An.kochi were exophagic. The biting activity of An.nigerimus peaked at 8-9 pm with its biting rate was 0.5 mosquito/person.night. Anopheles kochi/biting activity peaked at 6-7 pm with its biting rate was 1.5 mosquito/person/night. Aedes albopictus was found at 11-12 pm with its biting rate was 2.5 mosquitoes/person/night. Mansonia bonea was axophagic activity peaked at 11-12 pm with its biting eate was 2 mosquitoes/person/night. The average temperature and humidity of this study were 26.14 ± 0.30⁰ and 94.60±0.84%, respectively. Culex sp, usually rested inside the house in the morning. The breeding places of mosquitoes were puddle of water near house, water container, old/unused vehicles, footprint, and water tank. The water temperature of the breeding place 25⁰C. Its pH was 5.6 with 0 per mil salinity. This study did not found the vector of malaria, DHF, and filariasis. In conclusion, four genere of mosquitoes i.e. Culex, Anoheles, Aedes and Mansonia were found at Santu’un Village, However, vectors of malaria, DHF and filariasis were not found at this village.
