[Larval feeding of blood-sucking mosquitoes (Culicidae)].
Intestine of IVth stage larvae of mass species of bloodsucking mosquitoes from the zone affected by the Kakhovsk water reservoir have been studied. As a result it has been established that the main components of their food are algae, detritus, mineral particles and remains of zooplankton. A leading role of algae in the feeding of larvae has been shown as well as differences in the feeding of bottom larvae of Mansonia richardii.
