[A comparative analysis of the potential epidemiological importance of mosquitoes in the genus Anopheles under the conditions of the anthropogenic landscapes in the Chu Valley, Kyrgyz Republic. 1. The activity of the attack of malarial mosquitoes on man].
Six species of the genus Anopheles (An. claviger were prevalent, An. messeae and An. hyrcanus were intermediate, and An. martinius, An. algeriensis and An. superpictus were rare) were recorded in the Chu [correction of Chuisk] Valley in the north of the Republic of Kirghizia. Due to the fact that the malaria situation was worsening, the potential epidemiological significance of Anopheles that predominate under the man-made districts of the region under study was comparatively analyzed. Mosquitoes were collected in the 1991-1992 seasons. This paper gives data on the seasonal attacking activity of the predominant Anopheles species in the foothills and lowlands of the Chu River valley. The maximum seasonal attacking activity of mosquitoes has been found to coincide with the time of their greatest numbers and to be in the hot summer period (July-August) that makes it favourable for the causative agents of malaria to develop.
