Abstract
Behavioural studies on An. merus were conducted during a period of 11 months in Jimbo, a village on the Kenya Coast. The biting activity of An. merus both outdoors and indoors attained a peak between 24.00 and 01.00 hours. The mosquito showed a stronger tendency to bite outdoors than indoors and was markedly exophilic. Various outdoor resting sites were also identified.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
