[A comparative analysis of the potential epidemiological importance of mosquitoes in the genus Anopheles under the conditions of the anthropogenic landscapes in the Chu Valley, Kyrgyz Republic. II. The spread of malarial mosquitoes by the types of day resting places].

The distribution of malaria mosquitoes was analyzed by the types of day's rest within the farmsteads to determine what feed different Anopheles species preferred in the Chu River valley, which is the most densely populated in the Republic of Kirghizia. Field trials were made in the April to October of 1991 and 1992. Above 12,000 mosquito imagoes were collected. The predominant An. claviger was found mainly in the living spaces of the farmsteads which were located in vicinity of breeding sites. This exophilic species readily attacks both cattle and man who have found themselves in the places of its day's rest. An. messeae was chiefly detected indoors. The species readily attacks human beings. In the valley of the Chu River, A. hyrcanus actively attacks man indoors. In the Chu River valley, An. martinius is a completely exophilic type which prefers the accumulation of large prey.
