摘要：
The feeding behaviour of field-caught Anopheles arabiensis in the Elabered sub-zone of Eritrea was determined by direct-ELISA. Human IgG was detected in 16.9 % of the blood meal samples. The majority of mosquitoes (66.9 %) fed on cattle while the percentage of mixed human/cattle feeds was 3.8 %. Anopheles arabiensis females, obtained through different collection methods, were tested for Plasmodium falciparum and R vivax circumsporozoite antigens using ELISA. The mean R falciparum sporozoite rate for the three month study period was 0.68 %. None of the specimens was positive for. R vivax.
