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，研究人员建议进行长期的 云南省昆明市蚊虫吸血规律的调查 密西西比的各种栖息地 吸血模式的研究 蚊子的数量，将有助于评估 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作用的认识， 疾病循环中的蚊子种类和潜在宿主 密西西比，并最终在确定有效的蚊子 控制策略。 圣路易恩塞林事件 国家的某些地区和登革热的文件 在密西西比的高尔特海岸的研究表明， 这些疾病在该州的某些地区流行， 需要调查蚊子与宿主的喂养关系。 将在城市、农村、农田和 在该州的以下地区的娱乐区：三角洲 地区，中部地区和墨西哥湾沿岸。 充血 每年4月至9月收集蚊子， 使用微型电池供电的CDC光陷阱和背包 或手动电池操作的抽吸器。 在实验室里， 并会点算蚊子的数目及种类。 宿主血粉的鉴定将使用 毛细管电泳试验。
