Among the seven vector species studied A. fluviatilis, A. jeyporiensis and A. maculatus were exophilic whereas A. aconitus, A. annularis, A. culicifacies and A. varuna were endophilic. All the species collected indoors preferred cattlesheds to human dwellings for daytime resting and 71.3% of the total indoor collection was obtained from cattlesheds. Among the outdoor shelters pit shelters were found to be most attractive for all anophelines resting outdoors. In human dwellings anophelines generally preferred to rest on walls during winter and summer but on ceilings during the rainy season. While A. culicifacies has two peaks in density, during June-July and March all the other species had only one peak. There was a general decline in the density of vectors observed earlier in this area.
在研究的七种蚊种中，溪流按蚊、杰氏按蚊和多斑按蚊是嗜外性的，而乌头按蚊、环纹按蚊、库态按蚊和瓦容按蚊是嗜内性的。所有在室内采集到的蚊种白天休息时更喜欢牛舍而非人类住所，且室内采集总数的71.3%来自牛舍。在室外庇护所中，坑式庇护所被发现对所有在室外休息的按蚊最具吸引力。在人类住所中，按蚊在冬季和夏季通常更喜欢在墙壁上休息，但在雨季则更喜欢在天花板上休息。虽然库态按蚊密度有两个峰值，分别在6 - 7月和3月，但所有其他蚊种只有一个峰值。该地区早期观察到的蚊媒密度总体呈下降趋势。
