Natural blood-feeding and sugar-feeding behaviors were investigated for populations of
Anopheles gambiae sl and An. funestus Giles at 2 sites in western Kenya. During peak …

Although females of most mosquito species are known to use sugar as a necessary source
of energy, female Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto are thought to use it facultatively or …

Blood-feeding behavior and survivorship of individual Anopheles gambiae Giles females

The survival, metabolic reserves, and host-seeking response of unfed Anopheles gambiae
Giles sensu stricto females of different size classes were investigated from 1 to 6 d after …

When exposed to a human host, Anopheles gambiae started probing 4 h post-eclosion, but
95% successfully blood-fed by 16-20 h with maximal blood volumes of 5-10 µl per female …

Anopheles gambiae Giles (sensu lato) and A. funestus Giles was investigated by examining …

Feeding behaviour of the malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis Patton (Diptera: Culicidae)
was monitored for 12 months (March 2003− February 2004) in the Konso District of southern …

Two aedine and three anopheline species were allowed to blood-feed to repletion, and their
