Article Synopsis
The study focused on identifying malaria-carrying mosquitoes in Motuo County, Tibet, by collecting various mosquito species in different natural villages during July and August 2007.
A total of 5345 anopheline mosquitoes were captured, with the majority being An. pseudowillmori, indicating this species is prevalent in the area and exhibits a preference for cattle blood over human blood.
The findings highlight An. pseudowillmori's significant role in malaria transmission and point to rice fields as key breeding sites for mosquito larvae.
