Abstract

An electronic device was developed that records the probing, penetration, salivation, engorgement, and withdrawal of a mosquito in relation to its host. Each act is distinct and can be separately recognized in the recording of a single mosquito bite. The chart recordings were correlated with the physiological events taking place within the mosquito during engorgement and salivation. The characteristics of the recorded pattern as well as the time of engorgement were interpreted in terms of capillary and pool feeding.
