Wild caught zoophilic Anopheles and suspected malaria vector species collected in northwest Thailand were experimentally infected with local human malaria parasites using a membrane feeding. One week post-feeding a number of mosquitos were dissected for oocyst examination. The remainder were kept for another one week or more, and then the salivary glands were examined for the presence of sporozoites. The results revealed that An. vagus, An. kochi and An. annularis were susceptible to both Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax whereas An. barbirostris and An. sinensis were susceptible to only P. vivax. The non-susceptibility to P. falciparum of these two mosquito species may indicate their poor vector status of this malaria species in the field.
在泰国西北部采集的野生嗜动物性按蚊和疑似疟疾媒介物种，通过膜饲法用当地人类疟原虫进行实验感染。喂食一周后，解剖一些蚊子进行卵囊检查。其余的蚊子再饲养一周或更长时间，然后检查唾液腺中是否存在子孢子。结果显示，迷走按蚊、高砂按蚊和环纹按蚊对恶性疟原虫和间日疟原虫均易感，而须喙按蚊和中华按蚊仅对间日疟原虫易感。这两种蚊子对恶性疟原虫不敏感，可能表明它们在野外作为该疟疾病种的媒介地位较差。
