日本蚊子在马来丝虫病和班氏丝虫病传播中作用的综述。

Bull World Health Organ. 1962;27(4-5):585-94.

Malayan filariasis is found in Japan only on the small island of Hachijo-koshima and is transmitted there by Aëdes togoi and probably by Culex pipiens pallens.Bancroftian filariasis is widely distributed in the three main islands, and is of particularly high endemicity in the south. Of the ten mosquito species proved experimentally susceptible to Wuchereria bancrofti, only Aëdes togoi and Culex p. pallens seem to be responsible for transmission of the disease. The former species is of importance only in fishing villages situated on a rocky seashore with many tidal pools or in villages engaged in the processing of dried sardines. Culex p. pallens is domestic in habit, highly anthropophilic and highly susceptible to W. bancrofti infection, and must be considered the most important vector of this disease in Japan.

马来丝虫病仅在日本八丈小岛上被发现，由东乡伊蚊传播，或许淡色库蚊也参与传播。班氏丝虫病广泛分布于日本三大岛屿，在南部地区尤其高发。经实验证明，有十种蚊子对班氏吴策线虫易感，其中只有东乡伊蚊和淡色库蚊似乎参与了该病的传播。前者仅在多潮池的岩石海岸边的渔村或从事沙丁鱼干加工的村庄具有重要性。淡色库蚊习性居家，高度嗜人，对班氏吴策线虫感染高度易感，必须被视为日本这种疾病最重要的传播媒介。
