In this project, the investigator is proposing to make a long term investigation of the host blood feeding pattern of mosquitoes from various habitats in Mississippi. Studies on blood feeding patterns of mosquitoes, such as these, will aid in assessing the interactions between mosquitoes, host and the environment. This type of information will increase our knowledge of the role of various mosquito species and potential hosts in disease cycles in Mississippi, and eventually in determining effective mosquito control strategies. The occurrence of St. Louis Encephalitis in certain area of the state and the documentation of Dengue Fever in the Gult Coast of Mississippi indicate that the pathogens of these diseases are endemic in certain parts of the state and thus the need to investigate the mosquito-host feeding relationship. Sampling stations will be established in urban, rural, farmland and recreational areas in the following regions of the state: Delta area, Central region and the Gulf Coast. Blood engorged mosquitoes will be collected from April to September, each year, using miniature battery operated CDC light traps and back pack or hand battery operated aspirators. In the laboratory, engorged mosquitoes will be counted and identified to species. Identification of host blood meal will be made by using the Capillary Precipitant Test.

在这个项目中，研究人员提议将长期的 黄海地区蚊虫寄主取血规律的调查 密西西比州的各种栖息地。关于血液喂养模式的研究 这样的蚊子，将有助于评估相互作用 蚊子、宿主和环境之间的关系。这种类型的 信息将增加我们对各种因素的作用的了解 疾病周期中的蚊子种类和潜在宿主 密西西比州，并最终在确定有效蚊子 控制策略。年圣路易斯脑炎的发生 国家的某些地区和登革热的文件 密西西比州戈特海岸的研究表明， 这些疾病是该州某些地区的地方病，因此 有必要调查蚊子与宿主之间的摄食关系。 将在城市、农村、农田和农村建立采样站 该州以下地区的娱乐区：三角洲 区域、中部地区和墨西哥湾沿岸。血流成河 每年的4月到9月都会采集蚊子， 使用微型电池供电的疾控中心灯泡和背包 或手持电池驱动的吸引器。在实验室里，充斥着 将对蚊子进行计数并对物种进行识别。 宿主血餐的鉴定将使用 毛细管沉淀法。
