Biting activity of Mansonioides mosquitoes through all night collections for a period of two years in Shertallai region, in south India was studied. M. annulifera bites uniformly throughout the night, with two peaks of activity, one after midnight (24.00-01.00 h) and another before dawn (04.00-05.00 h). M. uniformis was found to be predominantly dusk biting, with its peak of activity between 1800 to 1900 h. M. indiana showed two peaks of biting activity one after dusk (2000-2100 h) and another before dawn (0300-0400 h). All biting, with its peak of activity between 1800 to 1900 h. M. indiana showed two peaks of biting activity one after dusk (2000-2100 h) and another before dawn (0300-0400 h). All these species following a particular pattern of activity cycles discerned the biting rhythm of Mansonioides mosquitoes to be species-specific.
在印度南部的舍尔塔莱地区，对曼蚊亚属蚊虫进行了为期两年的整夜采集，以研究其叮咬活动。环纹曼蚊在整个夜间均匀叮咬，有两个活动高峰，一个在午夜后（24:00 - 01:00时），另一个在黎明前（04:00 - 05:00时）。纯色曼蚊主要在黄昏时叮咬，其活动高峰在18:00至19:00时之间。印氏曼蚊有两个叮咬活动高峰，一个在黄昏后（20:00 - 21:00时），另一个在黎明前（03:00 - 04:00时）。所有这些遵循特定活动周期模式的物种，都显示出曼蚊亚属蚊虫的叮咬节律具有物种特异性。
