埃及伊蚊（Aedesaegypti（L.）使其成为登革热、基孔肯雅热和寨卡病毒的高效载体。虽然大量的研究已经调查了未成熟的栖息地和成虫出现的条件，相对较少的研究集中在室内休息的行为和室内的传播媒介的分布。我们调查了Ae的休息行为。在墨西哥阿卡普尔科市的979所房屋中，通过进行详尽的室内蚊子收集来描述蚊子被发现休息的房间和高度，从而在室内对埃及人进行了调查。总共有1，403只成年Ae和747只雌性Ae。埃及人主要在室内采集（98%的成年人和99%的女性）。主要的休息地点包括卧室（44%），客厅（25%）和浴室（20%），其次是厨房（9%）。埃及伊蚊显着休息低于1.5米的高度（82%的成年人，83%的女性和87%的吸血女性）;发现成年Ae的几率。1.5 m以下的埃及蚊是1.5 m以上的17倍。我们的研究结果为设计选择性地针对成年休眠种群的基于杀虫剂的干预措施提供了相关信息，例如室内滞留喷洒。
The markedly anthropophilic and endophilic behaviors of Aedes aegypti (L.) make it a very efficient vector of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses. Although a large body of research has investigated the immature habitats and conditions for adult emergence, relatively few studies have focused on the indoor resting behavior and distribution of vectors within houses. We investigated the resting behavior of Ae. aegypti indoors in 979 houses of the city of Acapulco, Mexico, by performing exhaustive indoor mosquito collections to describe the rooms and height at which mosquitoes were found resting. In total, 1,403 adult and 747 female Ae. aegypti were collected, primarily indoors (98% adults and 99% females). Primary resting locations included bedrooms (44%), living rooms (25%), and bathrooms (20%), followed by kitchens (9%). Aedes aegypti significantly rested below 1.5 m of height (82% adults, 83% females, and 87% bloodfed females); the odds of finding adult Ae. aegypti mosquitoes below 1.5 m was 17 times higher than above 1.5 m. Our findings provide relevant information for the design of insecticide- based interventions selectively targeting the adult resting population, such as indoor residual spraying.
