The anopheline survey of district South 24-Parganas revealed presence of sixteen species including Anopheles annularis, An. subpictus, An. fluviatilis, An. varuna, An. culicifacies and An. sundaicus known to be associated with malaria transmission in the country. A total of 14, 12 and 8 species were encountered in cattlesheds (CS) in contrast to 7, 5 and 4 species in human dwellings (HD) during monsoon, winter and summer respectively. The population density of anophelines in CS was significantly higher than in HD in all the three seasons.
