The host selection patterns of 18 species of Pakistan mosquitoes are described, emphasizing the presumed malaria vectors, Anopheles culicifacies, An. fluviatilis, and An. stephensi, and the probable vectors of West Nile virus, Culex pipiens fatigans and Cx. tritaeniorhynchus. All species tested, with the exception of Cx, p. fatigans, were considered to be essentially zoophilic. Few human feeds were recorded for An. annularis (0.7%), An. culicifacies (0.5%), An. fluviatilis (1.1%), An. nigerrimus (14.3%), and Cx. bitaeniorhynchus (2.8%), while Cx. p. fatigans (37.6%) commonly fed on man. No human positive feeds were recorded for An. stephensi. Temporal or spatial changes in host selection patterns were not discerned with the exception of Cx. p. fatigans, whose feeding patterns varied opportunistically with host availability. Cx. p. fatigans females collected from houses fed more commonly on man than those resting in cattle sheds or in agricultural fields. Cx. p. fatigans resting in cattle sheds during winter fed mostly on birds and bovids, changing to man and bovids during the spring and then to man and birds during summer. The relationships between these results and vector-borne disease transmission in Pakistan are discussed.
本文描述了巴基斯坦18种蚊子的宿主选择模式，重点介绍了假定的疟疾传播媒介——库氏按蚊、溪流按蚊和斯氏按蚊，以及西尼罗河病毒的可能传播媒介——致倦库蚊和三带喙库蚊。除致倦库蚊外，所有测试的蚊子种类都被认为基本上是嗜动物性的。环纹按蚊（0.7%）、库氏按蚊（0.5%）、溪流按蚊（1.1%）、黑足按蚊（14.3%）和二带喙库蚊（2.8%）叮咬人类的情况很少，而致倦库蚊（37.6%）通常以人类为食。斯氏按蚊未记录到叮咬人类呈阳性的情况。除致倦库蚊外，未发现宿主选择模式存在时间或空间变化，致倦库蚊的摄食模式会根据宿主的可获得性而机会性地变化。从房屋中采集的致倦库蚊雌蚊比在牛棚或农田中栖息的致倦库蚊雌蚊更常叮咬人类。冬季在牛棚中栖息的致倦库蚊主要以鸟类和牛科动物为食，春季转变为以人类和牛科动物为食，夏季则转变为以人类和鸟类为食。本文还讨论了这些结果与巴基斯坦媒介传播疾病传播之间的关系。
