A field study using caged dogs in mosquito bait traps was conducted in eastcentral Indiana to determine the species composition of mosquitoes coming to feed. Fourteen species of mosquitoes from 5 genera were collected; Aedes trivittatus predominated. Feeding success rates were measured as the percentage of mosquitoes collected that had a fresh blood meal. The species having the highest rates were: Culex erraticus, Aedes stimulans and Ae. trivittatus. Aedes vexans and Cx. pipiens/restuans had markedly lower feeding success rates. A New Jersey light trap operated at the same site each year yielded a different species composition. Because of its propensity for feeding on dogs, Ae. trivittatus may be considered as a major potential vector of heartworm disease in dogs, even where it is one of several possible vector species present in abundance.
在印第安纳州中东部开展了一项实地研究，将关在笼子里的狗置于蚊虫诱饵诱捕器中，以确定前来觅食的蚊子的种类组成。共采集到来自5个属的14种蚊子；三带喙库蚊占主导。取食成功率以采集到的有新鲜血餐的蚊子的百分比来衡量。取食成功率最高的种类为：迷走库蚊、刺扰伊蚊和三带喙库蚊。骚扰伊蚊和致倦库蚊/淡色库蚊的取食成功率显著较低。每年在同一地点运行的新泽西诱蚊灯捕到的蚊子种类组成不同。由于三带喙库蚊有叮咬狗的习性，即便在有多种可能的病媒种类大量存在的地方，它也可被视为犬心丝虫病的主要潜在病媒。
