Wing size and parity as markers of cohort demography for potential Anopheles (Culicidae: Diptera) malaria vectors in the Republic of Korea

Abstract: Wing lengths of parous (P) and nulliparous (NP) PCR‐identified female Anopheles belenrae, An. kleini, An. pullus, and An. sinensis were determined from weekly trap collections at Camp Humphreys (CH), Ganghwa Island (GH), and Warrior Base (WB), Republic of Korea (ROK) during Jun‐Oct, 2009. Wing length was greatest at the beginning and end of the study period. Wing length of NPs tended to be less than that of Ps before the period of maximum greening (Jul‐Aug) but greater thereafter. Larger specimens tended to be… Show more

“…Third, the variation seen within the CDC bottle bioassays and WHO tube tests could be due to a lack of controlling for mosquito weight. While weight differences were minor in these environmentally controlled inbred lab strains, the variation is expected to be much more pronounced in field populations, particularly when comparing populations from different seasons or ecological habitats [47][48][49]. A final important difference between these assays is the level of mosquito handling.…”
