The genus Mansonia is divided into two subgenera, Mansonia and Mansonioides. The subgenus Mansonioides includes the important vectors of lymphatic filariasis caused by Brugia malayi in South and Southeast Asia. Six species of this subgenus are vectors of two types of brugian filariasis, periodic and subperiodic. All six species, viz Mansonia bonneae, Ma. dives, Ma. uniformis, Ma. annulifera, Ma. annulata and Ma. indiana are present in this country. The ecological factors governing the larval and adult biology and their control measures are discussed.
曼蚊属分为两个亚属,即曼蚊亚属和类曼蚊亚属。类曼蚊亚属包含在南亚和东南亚传播由马来布鲁线虫引起的淋巴丝虫病的重要病媒。该亚属的六个物种是两种类型的布鲁氏丝虫病(周期型和亚周期型)的病媒。这六个物种,即邦氏曼蚊、丰盛曼蚊、纯色曼蚊、环带曼蚊、环纹曼蚊和印第安纳曼蚊在该国均有分布。本文讨论了影响幼虫和成虫生物学特性的生态因素及其控制措施。
