Abstract
A greater proportion of Anopheles freeborni females reared under long-day condition took a blood meal and developed mature eggs than did those reared under the short-day condition. Blood feeding does not appear to be essential to overwintering females. There appears to be little or no differences between diapausing females which do and do not take blood meals. Diapausing sugar feeders developed slightly greater lipid content than the diapausing blood feeders, but no detectable differences were observed in the survival rate of the 2 populations.
