摘要：

Behaviourial studies were conducted on the three main Anopheline Mosquitoes in Kapkuikui village, Baringo district, Kenya, namely Anopheles gambiae s.l., A.funestus and A.pharoensis. A.gambiae and A.funestus bite more often indoors than outdoors, with peak biting activity between 23-1 h and 1-3 h respectively. The two species were also markedly endophilic, the bulk of fed females resting indoors to complete egg development, even though some degree of exophily was observed among gravid female A.gambiae s.l. A.pharoensis on the other hand bites more often outdoors than indoors, attaining its peak biting activity before midnight. It was strongly exophilic in its resting habits. The implications of these observations with respect to planning an effective mosquito control programme in the area are discussed.
