During investigations in central Sweden on the ecology of mosquito vectors of Ockelbo disease, large numbers of Aedes diantaeus males and lesser numbers of Ae. communis, Ae. excrucians and Ae. intrudens males were captured in animal-baited (rabbit, guinea pig, hen, dove, unbaited control) suction- and net-traps. In the five suction-traps, 57% of the diantaeus captured (N = 1,896) were males. Although the guinea pig-baited suction-trap captured the highest mean number of diantaeus males, data showed that these males, like the females, were mainly attracted to the largest mammal, i.e., the rabbit. These males assembled in the vicinity of the rabbit presumably to intercept females coming to feed. The net-trap data showed that orientation by the males to the rabbit presumably involved olfactory cues emanating from the mammal.
在瑞典中部对奥克尔博病蚊媒生态学进行调查期间，在以动物为诱饵（兔子、豚鼠、母鸡、鸽子，未设诱饵的对照）的吸捕器和网捕器中捕获了大量的二带伊蚊雄蚊，以及数量较少的普通伊蚊、骚扰伊蚊和侵入伊蚊雄蚊。在五个吸捕器中，捕获的二带伊蚊（N = 1,896）中有57%是雄蚊。尽管以豚鼠为诱饵的吸捕器捕获的二带伊蚊雄蚊平均数量最高，但数据表明，这些雄蚊与雌蚊一样，主要被最大的哺乳动物即兔子所吸引。这些雄蚊聚集在兔子附近，大概是为了拦截前来觅食的雌蚊。网捕器数据表明，雄蚊对兔子的定向大概涉及来自哺乳动物的嗅觉线索。
