Abstract
In an attempt to isolate yellow fever virus from Aëdes (Stegomyia) africanus, Theo., an intensive series of catches was carried out during 11 weeks of 1945 in 2 forest areas in Bwamba County, Uganda. Most of the work was carried out on platforms in trees during the sunset period, since the main biting activity of A. africanus occurs in the forest canopy just after sunset. Virus was not obtained during the course of this work.The results confirmed that A. africanus is the dominant arboreal Culicine of the sunset period. In catches carried out actually in the canopy it formed 69 per cent. of the total Culicines taken.
