Pupal stages of Simulium were collected and identified from various breeding habitats of twelve locations in northeastern India. Simulium flies, while attempting to land on human were collected between 07:00-17:00 hrs to understand the biting pattern. Seven species belonging to three sub-genera, Eusimulium (1), Gomphostilbia (1) and Simulium (5) belonging genus Simulium were encountered. Out of total seven species recorded, S. (E) aureohirtum, S. (G) tenuistylum and S. (S) rufibasis were predominant and shared 30.3%, 29.9% and 27.6% of total collection. Stream breeding habitat contributed 47.3% of total catch and was found to be preferred breeding habitat (p < 0.0001). S. (S) christophersi and S. (G) tenuistylum were recorded for the first time from the northeastern region of India. Simuliids biting rhythm showed bimodal pattern and were more active during sunny day (p < 0.0001). Microscopic dissection of simuliids (n = 266) did not incriminate simuliids as vector of onchocerciasis.
从印度东北部12个地点的各种孳生地收集并鉴定了蚋的蛹期。在07:00至17:00之间收集试图落在人身上的蚋蝇，以了解其叮咬模式。遇到了属于蚋属三个亚属的7个物种，即真蚋亚属（Eusimulium，1种）、柱蚋亚属（Gomphostilbia，1种）和蚋亚属（Simulium，5种）。在记录的总共7个物种中，金色蚋（S. (E) aureohirtum）、细柱蚋（S. (G) tenuistylum）和红基蚋（S. (S) rufibasis）占主导地位，分别占总捕获量的30.3%、29.9%和27.6%。溪流孳生地占总捕获量的47.3%，被发现是首选的孳生地（p < 0.0001）。印度东北部地区首次记录到克里斯托弗蚋（S. (S) christophersi）和细柱蚋（S. (G) tenuistylum）。蚋的叮咬节律呈双峰模式，在晴天更活跃（p < 0.0001）。对266只蚋进行显微镜解剖，未发现蚋是盘尾丝虫病的传播媒介。
