During 2009–2011, mosquitoes were captured in the Lower Dyje River Basin. Thirty mosquito species of six genera were confirmed. A total of 415,218 females were captured. Most frequently found were the outbreak and flood species Aedes vexans (56.52%), Ae. sticticus (16.40%), Ae. rossicus (5.17%), Ae. cantans and Ae. annulipes (2.44%), and Ae. cinereus s. l. (1.11%). Females of Ae. cataphylla (0.31%) and Ae. intrudens were captured in spring. Among the other species, Culex pipiens s. l. (6.61%) and Cx. modestus (8.87%) were abundant. Anopheles maculipennis s. l. (1.01%), An. claviger (0.43%), An. plumbeus (0.08%), An. hyrcanus (0.08%), Coquillettidia richiardii (0.52%), and Culiseta annulata (0.18%) were also detected. Sparsely occurring were Ae. excrucians, Ae. flavescens, Ae. caspius and Ae. geniculatus. Captured only very sporadically were Ae. communis, Ae. leucomelas, Ae. dorsalis, Ae. rusticus, Cx. martinii, Cx. territans, Cs. morsitans and Uranotaenia unguiculata.
