Adult mosquitoes in the Anopheles maculatus group were surveyed from different regions of Thailand and five different species were morphologically identified, including Anopheles maculatus, Anopheles sawadwongporni, Anopheles notanandai, Anopheles dravidicus, and Anopheles willmori. Blood-feeding activity and host preference of two species, Anopheles maculatus and Anopheles sawadwongporni, were observed during a one-year period at Pu Teuy Village, Sai Yok District, Kanchanaburi Province, west-central Thailand. Both species were more prevalent during the wetter period of the year and each had a greater predilection to feed on cattle than humans. Primary feeding activity occurred between 20:00-23:00 and a smaller peak at 01:00-03:00. Findings are discussed relative to the importance of these two vectors for malaria transmission in Pu Teuy.
对泰国不同地区的多斑按蚊种群中的成年蚊子进行了调查,并从形态上鉴定出了五个不同的物种,包括多斑按蚊、萨氏按蚊、诺氏按蚊、德氏按蚊和威氏按蚊。在泰国中西部北碧府赛育区普特伊村,对多斑按蚊和萨氏按蚊这两个物种的吸血活动和宿主偏好进行了为期一年的观察。这两个物种在一年中较湿润的时期更为普遍,并且相比于人类,它们都更倾向于吸食牛血。主要吸血活动发生在20:00至23:00之间,在01:00至03:00有一个较小的峰值。文中讨论了这两种媒介对普特伊村疟疾传播的重要性。
