Seasonal distribution of disease vector species including mosquitoes and ticks plays a key role in establishing risk managementof vector-borne disease. However, environmental factors affecting abundance and distribution of vector species are notcurrently well understood. Therefore, we conducted a two-year field sampling to address the population dynamics of mosquitoesand ticks in Gyeonggi-do in 2015 and 2016. In 2015, the population density was highest in May for ticks (e.g. Haemaphysalislongicornis) and June for mosquitoes (e.g. Aedes vexans), whereas both pest groups peaked in August in 2016. Culexpipens (82.3% Species Ratio), Ae. vexans (77.3% SR), and Anopheles sinesis sp. (45.3% SR) were the most dominantspecies in urban area, cow shed and wild bird refuge, respectively. For ticks, H. longicornis (47.7% SR) was the mostdominant throughout four potential habitats.
