 Abstract:

Dengue fever mosquitoes transmitter spread in Jeddah Province in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a result of environmental, cultural, and other factors. The concerned bodies are carrying out fighting operations in order to provide a mechanism to concentrate on certain areas and place them as a priority in fighting operations. The objective of this study is centered on examining the spatial methods to know mosquitoes' reproduction patterns and assist the decision-makers in Jeddah Municipality to know mosquitoes' reproduction patterns and the geographical places where they concentrate inside University Municipality. Therefore, it is necessary to know the Municipality pattern in the University Municipality, and the range of spatial correlation availability to the analysis of mosquitoes reproduction spread pattern. The study of mosquitoes reproduction in University Municipality was completed, The data of this study was represented in the number of dengue fever mosquitoes transmitter reproduction during the weeks (1 to 46) in 2018 successively for different districts in University municipality, they are (Al-Thagr, Al-University, Al-Sulaymaniah-al-Ruabi-Al-Fayha) using GPS technology for reproduction pits. The most important finding of the study is that mosquitoes reproduction phenomenon in University Municipality is randomly distributed, and University and Al-Thagr districts are the most districts where dengue fever mosquitoes transmitter are reproduced. We also find that the distribution pattern is not spaced or close or cluster, i.e., not randomly distributed. Out of the most study recommendation is a concentration on “University and Al-Thagr districts” by taking many measurements which limit dengue fever mosquitoes transmitter reproduction in the University Municipality and can be circulated to all districts in Jeddah province Municipalities. The research provides a good tool for the decision-makers and assists them in determining the areas which need fighting operations more than the others.
