The results of 12,168 precipitin tests on blood meals of mosquitoes of the Kano Plain caught by a variety of catching techniques indicate that to gain an accurate overall picture of feeding patterns both the indoor and the outdoor biotope must be sampled. CDC light traps operated inside houses and Monkswood type light traps operated under the outside eaves of houses were found to collect larger numbers of blood fed specimens from a wider range of species than battery driven aspirators collecting from natural resting sites. The results indicated that 7 mosquito species entered houses to bite man in appreciable numbers in the Kisumu area. These were Anopheles gambiae s.l., A. funestus, A. pharoensis, Mansonia uniformia, M. africana, Culex antennatus, and C. univittatus. Eight mosquito species were found to bite man and domestic animals in the outdoor biotope in large numbers. These were: A. pharoensis, A. ziemanni, M. uniformis, M. africana, C. antennatus, C. univittatus, Aedes circumluteolus, and Ae. ochraceus. From an epidemiological point of view, species with a narrow range of hosts are most likely to be of importance as vectors of parasitic diseases such as malaria and into this category fall the major man biting anophelines A. gambiae and A. funestus. Those mosquito species which switch from one group of hosts to another according to local circumstances are most likely to be involved in arbovirus transmission and in this group the following species must be considered: A. pharoensis, A. ziemanni, M. uniformia, M. africana, C. antennatus, C. univittatus and Ae. circumluteolus.
对通过多种捕捉技术捕获的卡诺平原蚊子血餐进行的12168次沉淀素试验结果表明，为了准确全面地了解取食模式，必须对室内和室外生物群落进行采样。结果发现，在房屋内操作的疾控中心诱蚊灯以及在房屋外屋檐下操作的蒙克斯伍德式诱蚊灯，比从自然栖息地点用电池驱动的吸气器收集到的血食标本数量更多，种类也更广。结果表明，在基苏木地区，有7种蚊子大量进入房屋叮咬人类。它们是冈比亚按蚊复合种、嗜人按蚊、法老按蚊、单色曼蚊、非洲曼蚊、触角库蚊和单带库蚊。发现有8种蚊子在室外生物群落中大量叮咬人类和家畜。它们是：法老按蚊、齐氏按蚊、单色曼蚊、非洲曼蚊、触角库蚊、单带库蚊、环纹伊蚊和 Ochraceus伊蚊。从流行病学角度来看，宿主范围狭窄的物种最有可能作为疟疾等寄生虫病的传播媒介具有重要意义，主要叮咬人类的冈比亚按蚊和嗜人按蚊就属于这一类。那些根据当地情况从一组宿主转向另一组宿主的蚊子物种最有可能参与虫媒病毒传播，在这一组中必须考虑以下物种：法老按蚊、齐氏按蚊、单色曼蚊、非洲曼蚊、触角库蚊、单带库蚊和环纹伊蚊。
