A survey at Richards Bay, the site of a new international harbour on the east coast of South Africa, revealed the presence of 11 anthropophilic mosquito species. These are discussed in relation to their known medical importance and to a complementary survey of arbovirus antibodies among residents of the area. Mansonia uniformis was by far the most abundant man-biting mosquito. Antibodies against Germiston, Banzi and Rift Valley Fever viruses were the three most commonly encountered, being detected in 29.7, 12.2 and 8.7% of residents respectively. This new knowledge updates the distribution and prevalence of arbovirus antibodies in man in northern Natal.
在南非东海岸新国际港口所在地理查兹湾进行的一项调查显示，当地存在11种嗜人蚊种。本文结合这些蚊种已知的医学重要性以及对该地区居民虫媒病毒抗体的补充调查进行了讨论。均匀曼蚊是迄今为止叮咬人类最多的蚊子。针对杰米斯顿、班齐和裂谷热病毒的抗体是最常检测到的三种抗体，分别在29.7%、12.2%和8.7%的居民中检测到。这一新知识更新了纳塔尔北部人群中虫媒病毒抗体的分布和流行情况。
