Studies on feeding habits of Mansonia annulata, M. annulifera, M. indiana and M. uniformis were carried out in southern Thailand. This study showed that M. annulata and M. uniformis were both strongly exophagic mosquitoes which avoided approaching and entering human dwellings. The biting frequency on the verandah was considerably higher than indoors. M. indiana was not repelled by houses but avoided biting indoors. M. annulifera was endophagic, it was attracted by houses and bit on the verandah as frequently as indoors. Some species showed differential preference for age- and sex-groups of human hosts: M. annulata was more attracted by adolescents and adults than by children and M. annulifera preferred female hosts. The other species did not distinguish between host groups.
对泰国南部环带曼蚊、环纹曼蚊、印度曼蚊和单色曼蚊的摄食习性进行了研究。该研究表明，环带曼蚊和单色曼蚊都是强烈的外食性蚊子，它们避免接近和进入人类住所。在门廊上的叮咬频率明显高于室内。印度曼蚊不会被房屋排斥，但避免在室内叮咬。环纹曼蚊是内食性的，它被房屋吸引，在门廊上叮咬的频率与在室内一样高。一些物种对人类宿主的年龄和性别群体表现出不同的偏好：环带曼蚊对青少年和成年人的吸引力比对儿童更大，而环纹曼蚊更喜欢雌性宿主。其他物种则不区分宿主群体。
