使用沉淀素测试和 ELISA 来研究 1989 年和 1990 年夏季在密苏里州波托西收集的 172 只吸血白纹伊蚊 (Skuse) 的宿主摄食模式。110 只 (64.0%) 蚊子以哺乳动物为食，29 只 (16.9%) 以鸟类为食，没有一只以海龟或蛇为食。三十三只 (19.2%) 蚊子在所有测试中均未做出反应。 110 种哺乳动物饲料中，有 86 种 (78.2%) 低等类群呈阳性，具体如下： 兔，24.5%；鹿，14.5%；狗，13.6%；人类，8.2%；松鼠，7.3%；负鼠，4.5%；除黄鼠外的肌形啮齿类动物，3.6%；浣熊，0.9%；和牛，0.9%。以下哺乳动物未检测到阳性饲料： 猫 (n = 99)；马 (n = 95)；黄鼠 (n = 84)；和猪 (n = 84)。 29 种禽类饲料中有 14 种 (48.3%) 低等类群呈阳性，具体如下：雀形目，24.1%；鸽形目，17.2%；鹳形目, 3.4%;和鹌鹑，3.4%。这些数据是第一个关于白伊蚊宿主进食模式的数据。新大陆的白纹伊蚊种群表明，伊蚊。白纹伊蚊是一种机会主义饲养者，利用多种宿主，因此有可能参与本土虫媒病毒的传播周期。
Precipitin tests and ELISA were used to investigate host-feeding patterns of 172 blood-fed Aedes albopictus (Skuse) collected at Potosi, MO, during the summers of 1989 and 1990. One hundred ten (64.0%) mosquitoes had fed on mammals, 29 (16.9%) on birds, and none on turtles or snakes. Thirty-three (19.2%) mosquitoes failed to react in all tests. Eighty-six (78.2%) of the 110 mammalian feeds were positive for lower taxa as follows: rabbit, 24.5%; deer, 14.5%; dog, 13.6%; human, 8.2%; squirrel, 7.3%; opossum, 4.5%; myomorph rodents other than Rattus, 3.6%; raccoon, 0.9%; and bovine, 0.9%. Positive feeds were not detected for the following mammals: cat (n = 99); horse (n = 95); Rattus (n = 84); and swine (n = 84). Fourteen (48.3%) of the 29 avian feeds were positive for lower taxa as follows: Passeriformes, 24.1%; Columbiformes, 17.2%; Ciconiiformes, 3.4%; and quail, 3.4%. These data, the first on host-feeding patterns for Ae. albopictus populations in the New World, indicate that Ae. albopictus is an opportunistic feeder that utilizes a wide variety of hosts and, therefore, has the potential to become involved in the transmission cycles of indigenous arboviruses.
