Twelve species of Anopheles were collected by using cow-baited net trap in a malarial endemic village in northern Peninsular Malaysia. Anopheles maculatus which is the main malaria vector with its densities were related to drought. An. aconitus, An. kochi and An. philippinensis were less susceptible to P. falciparum and P. vivax infection, and are not considered important in falciparum or vivax malaria transmission. Biting activities of An. kochi and An. vagus were primarily active after dusk and steadily declined after midnight. An. maculatus and An. aconitus showed biting activities throughout the night but An. maculatus showed two peaks of biting activity in the first half of the night.
在马来西亚半岛北部一个疟疾流行村庄，使用牛诱饵蚊帐诱捕法收集到了12种按蚊。大劣按蚊是主要的疟疾传播媒介，其密度与干旱有关。乌头按蚊、高砂按蚊和菲律宾按蚊对恶性疟原虫和间日疟原虫感染的易感性较低，在恶性疟或间日疟传播中不被认为是重要媒介。高砂按蚊和迷走按蚊的叮咬活动主要在黄昏后活跃，午夜后逐渐下降。大劣按蚊和乌头按蚊整夜都有叮咬活动，但大劣按蚊在上半夜有两个叮咬活动高峰。
