Mosquito resting on different host plants were collected from two localities in Egypt, Kafr Tohoria village, Qualubiya governorate and El Abtal village, Ismailia governorate. Collected mosquitoes were identified, classified to their feeding stage and tested for carbohydrate feeding. Results indicated that Cx. pipiens represented 96% and above of collected species in the two localities. The available plants and crops showed different attraction levels for resting female mosquitoes. Most of the collected females were empty. Mosquitoes may be attracted to certain plants due to the presence of some phagostimulant chemicals rather than the presence of the sugars.
从埃及的两个地点，即盖勒尤比省的卡夫尔托霍里亚村和伊斯梅利亚省的阿卜塔尔村，收集停歇在不同寄主植物上的蚊子。对收集到的蚊子进行鉴定、分类到其取食阶段，并检测碳水化合物取食情况。结果表明，尖音库蚊在这两个地点所收集的蚊种中占比96%及以上。现有的植物和作物对停歇的雌蚊表现出不同的吸引水平。大多数收集到的雌蚊体内是空的。蚊子可能是由于某些摄食刺激化学物质的存在而非糖分的存在而被某些植物所吸引。
