A newly discovered habitat of Anopheles stephensi in present-day Calcutta with evidence of natural malarial infection.
In Calcutta adult Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes were captured in significantly greater numbers from temporary human shelters than from their conventional resting places, such as brick built indoor rooms and cattlesheds, pointing out a change of behaviour in seeking their resting places which may have occurred due to excitorepelletory action of insecticides used indoors in bygone days.
