1981- 1983年在巴布亚新几内亚马当省的村庄获得了多尼茨点状按蚊群（主要为法劳蒂按蚊Laveran）在室外休息的大量雌性样本，并确定了它们的血食来源。根据可作为替代宿主的动物，特别是猪的数量，以人为食的人口比例在各个村庄之间差别很大。利用一种独特的寄主进行放生再捕获实验，发现膨胀的法氏姬螨雌蜂的飞行距离一般小于50米。在一个村庄，获得了1523只雌性法劳蒂拟虫的淋养年龄，并确定了其中503只的磷酸葡萄糖糖脲酶（PGM）的电泳图谱。对数据进行关联测试。宿主来源、淋养年龄与PGM等位基因类型之间无显著关系。因此，在该村内未发现单独的法劳蒂拟南蝽亚群。讨论了研究结果与疟疾流行病学的相关性。
Samples of engorged outdoor-resting females of the complex of Anopheles punctulatus Donitz, primarily A. farauti Laveran, were obtained from villages in Madang Province, Papua New Guinea, in 1981-83 and their blood-meal sources identified. The proportion of the population feeding on man varied considerably from village to village according to the number of animals, particularly pigs, available as alternative hosts. Using a unique host in a mark-release-recapture experiment, the distance flown by engorged females of A. farauti was found to be generally less than 50 m. In one village, the gonotrophic age of a subsample of 1523 females of A. farauti was obtained and in 503 of these the electrophoretic pattern of the enzyme phosphoglucomutase (PGM) determined. Tests of association were performed on the data. However, no significant relationship was found between host source, gonotrophic age and allelic type of PGM. Thus, separate subpopulations of A. farauti were not identified within this village. The relevance of the results to the epidemiology of malaria is discussed.
