Epidemiological Studies on Malayan Filariasis in an Inland Area in Kyungpook, Korea 3. Ecological Survey of VECtor Mosquitoes of Brugia malayi
경북 내륙지역에서의 말레이사상충 역학적 조사 3. 말레이사상충 매개문의 생태학적 조사
Abstract
The species composition, population density, and seasonal prevalence of vector mosquitoes in an inland area of Kyungoook Province were studied, based on light trap and human bait trap collections, and the recent patterns of infestation for infective larvae of Brugia malayi in these vector hosts were investigated from May to November in 1985. Nine species in four genera of mosquitoes were collected by light trap, human bait trap, and/or by nets. Anopheles sinensis Wiedemann was the most abundant species collected by light traps during this year. Culex tritaeniorhynchus Giles was the second abundant species, and Aedes vexans nipponii (Theobald) ranked third in total abundance. The earlist time when A. sinensis were found was the middle of May. At that time the temperature ranged from
1985년 5월부터 동년 11월까지 6개월간 경북 내륙지역에 출현하는 문종류와 계절적 출현소장을 조사함과 아울러 매개문에서의 감염형 유충의 최근 감염상을 관찰하였다. 조사기간중에 채집된 문의 종류는 4속 9종이었으며, 기중 A. sinensis가 최우점종으로 전채집수의 84.7%를 차지하였다. 조사지역에서 A. sinensis를 처음으로 채집할 수 있는 시기는 5월 초순이었으며 이 기간중 기온은
