Abstract
Among the more important mosquitoes affecting the health of native and newcomer alike in New Guinea and adjacent islands are Anopheles punctulatus Don. and A. farauti Lav.[2][1] They are the principal vectors of malaria over most of this wide range. In addition they are possible vectors of human filariasis in parts of these areas. Their extensive distribution and ready adaptation to conditions incident to waging the recent war increased their importance to armies in the field and in camp. Observations reported herein were made during 1943 and 1944 in eastern and northern Papua and on Biak, one of the principal islands of the Schouten Group in the Netherlands East Indies.[3][2] [1]: #fn-2 [2]: #fn-3
