Human-landing catch (HLC) technique was undertaken in nine selected study sites within Peninsular Malaysia to determine the biting cycle of Aedes, Armigeres, Culex, and Mansonia mosquitoes. HLC was conducted 24 hours on three different nights in a duration of one week at each study site. Aedes albopictus were found in all study sites with bimodal biting cycle, whereas the biting peak of Aedes butleri was recorded between 1600 and 1900 hr. For Armigeres, five study sites demonstrated similar biting peak hour (1900 - 2000 hr) for Ar. kesseli four study sites showed biting peak at 1800 - 1900 hr for Ar. subalbatus. Culex quinquefasciatus was collected from all study sites except in Sungai Penchala with its biting activity beginning from 1900 hr. Both Mansonia annulifera and Mansonia uniformis captured in two different study sites showed similar biting peaks (1500 - 1600 hr). It is recommended that vector control activities be carried out at dusk as almost all mosquito species captured started their biting activities at that time.
在马来西亚半岛的九个选定研究地点采用人饵诱捕（HLC）技术，以确定伊蚊、阿蚊、库蚊和曼蚊的叮咬周期。在每个研究地点，在一周的时间内，于三个不同的夜晚进行了24小时的人饵诱捕。在所有研究地点均发现了白纹伊蚊，其具有双峰叮咬周期，而布氏伊蚊的叮咬高峰记录在16:00至19:00之间。对于阿蚊，五个研究地点的凯氏阿蚊显示出相似的叮咬高峰时间（19:00 - 20:00），四个研究地点的伪白纹阿蚊的叮咬高峰出现在18:00 - 19:00。除了双溪彭查拉外，所有研究地点均采集到致倦库蚊，其叮咬活动从19:00开始。在两个不同研究地点捕获的环带曼蚊和单色曼蚊均显示出相似的叮咬高峰（15:00 - 16:00）。建议在黄昏时开展病媒控制活动，因为几乎所有捕获的蚊虫种类在此时开始其叮咬活动。
