and appear to play an important role in contemporary malaria transmission in Bangladesh. However, very little is known about the natural host selection of these vectors. Therefore, host selection of these two species was investigated in Bandarban, the most malarious region of Bangladesh. A total of 480 engorged mosquitoes were analyzed. The human blood index (HBI) of varied from 4.17% in outdoor to 19.17% in indoor collections. Similarly, HBI of ranged between 0.83% and 22.50% from outdoor to indoor. For both species, cow blood indices were significantly higher than HBI in both indoor and outdoor collections. These data demonstrate the opportunistic and zoophilic nature of and , which suggests that approaches such as zooprophylasis may prove beneficial as a control strategy.
并且似乎在孟加拉国当代疟疾传播中发挥了重要作用。然而，对于这些媒介的自然宿主选择知之甚少。因此，在孟加拉国最疟疾流行的班达班地区对这两个物种的宿主选择进行了调查。共分析了 480 只饱血的蚊子。 的人血指数（HBI）从户外的 4.17%到室内的 19.17%不等。同样， 的 HBI 从户外到室内分别在 0.83%到 22.50%之间变化。对于这两个物种，牛血指数在室内和室外采集物中的 HBI 都明显更高。这些数据表明 和 具有机会主义和嗜血性，这表明像动物预防法这样的方法可能作为一种控制策略是有益的。
