Gel diffusion analysis of host preference pattern of Anopheles subpictus in West Bengal, India.
Host preference pattern of Anopheles subpictus was studied from cattlesheds and human dwellings of Uttarpara, Hooghly, West Bengal using a modified gel diffusion technique. Our results reveal that An subpictus is becoming less zoophagic in this area.
