为了确定玉米（Zea m. mays）产生的花粉是否可能促进非洲主要疟疾媒介冈比亚按蚊（Anopheles gambiae complex）幼虫的发育，我们将幼虫发育时间、化蛹成功率和成虫大小与获得这种潜在营养物质的程度进行了关联。在埃塞俄比亚疟疾流行区，雨季玉米种植附近的水面上有大量的玉米花粉，在自然界中，阿拉伯按蚊幼虫很容易摄取这些颗粒。幼虫发育到蛹阶段的速度更快，频率更高，并且在玉米花粉丰富的地方产生更大的成虫，而不是那些很少获得这种食物的成虫。如果将玉米种植排除在房屋附近，或者如果这种玉米的花粉表达昆虫毒素，那么疟疾在撒哈拉以南非洲的传播力可能会降低。
To determine whether pollen produced by maize (Zea m. mays) may contribute to the development of larval Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes, the main African vectors of malaria, we correlated duration of larval development, pupation success, and size of the resulting adults with degree of access to this potential nutriment. Maize pollen is abundant during the wet season on the surface of water near maize plantings in a malaria-endemic region of Ethiopia, and larval Anopheles arabiensis readily ingest these particles in nature. Larvae develop to the pupal stage more rapidly, more frequently, and produce larger adults where maize pollen is abundant than do those that have little access to this food. The force of transmission of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa might be reduced if maize plantings were excluded from the immediate vicinity of homes or, perhaps, if pollen of such maize were to express entomotoxins.
