Abstract
An increased indoor population of Anopheles sacharovi at the start of hibernation is recorded.Figures are given for dissections of A. sacharovi during the winter months, showing an infectivity rate (sporozoites) of 0·41 per cent.Eggs of A. sacharovi laid at the end of hibernation are described.An account is given of an area in Northern Persia where A. sacharovi is present in association with a lower endemicity of malaria than is usual.We are indebted to Lt.-Col. D. N. Keys, R.A.M.C., Major J. Yofe, R.A.M.C., and Major R. Hillman, R.A.M.C., for their interest and help in these observations.Keywords
