Virgin Culex tritaeniorhynchus males and females from a laboratory strain and the progeny of wild-caught females were released at a rural village on the outskirts of Lahore during late autumn to study mating behavior in nature at a time when population abundance was declining. Although both released and endemic males were numerous, few recaptured females were inseminated. Apparently during late autumn there normally is a cessation of mating activity as the population begins to enter the overwintering diapause condition even though males and virgin females may be readily collected resting in fields. These data suggested that genetic material would not be readily introduced into the overwintering population during late autumn.
在深秋时节，将来自实验室品系的未交配的三带喙库蚊雌雄个体以及野外捕获雌蚊的后代，释放到拉合尔市郊的一个乡村，以研究在种群数量下降时自然环境中的交配行为。尽管释放的雄蚊和当地雄蚊数量众多，但重新捕获的已受精雌蚊却很少。显然，在深秋时节，随着种群开始进入越冬滞育状态，交配活动通常会停止，即便在田野中很容易采集到停歇的雄蚊和未交配的雌蚊。这些数据表明，在深秋时节，遗传物质不易引入越冬种群。
