Natural populations of 6 species of mosquito-Anopheles tenebrosus, Taeniorynchus (Mansonioides) africanus, Taeniorynchus (Mansonioides) uniformis, Anopheles coustani, Anopheles ziemanni, and Anopheles pharoensis-were examined for filarial parasites. Infective stages of Dirofilaria immitis were found in the first 3 of these species, which are therefore considered vectors. Laboratory studies to see whether or not any of the 6 could potentially transmit Wucheria bancrofti showed only A. tenebrosus to be capable of producing the infective stage.
对6种蚊子的自然种群——阴暗按蚊、非洲带喙库蚊（曼蚊亚属）、纯色带喙库蚊（曼蚊亚属）、科斯塔尼按蚊、齐氏按蚊和法老按蚊——进行了丝虫寄生虫检测。在上述前3种蚊子中发现了犬恶丝虫的感染期，因此它们被视为病媒。为了确定这6种蚊子中是否有任何一种可能传播班氏吴策线虫而进行的实验室研究表明，只有阴暗按蚊能够产生感染期。
