BIOECOLOGY STUDY OF Anopheles SPECIES IN EAST-COASTAL AREA, PARIGIMOUTONG DISTRICT, CENTRAL SULA WESI
Abstract. A study was conducted in two villages in East-coastal area, Parigi-Moutong
District, Central Sulawesi during 1999-2002 to determine the bioecology of Anopheles
species particularly bitirtg activity related to ftunzait habits and rainfall. In longitudinal
survey of the nzosquitoes perfornzed for 23 nzonths in Kasimbar and 22 months in Sidoan
during 1999-2002, 8670 female Anopheles front 10 species were collected. The most
ab~lndantis An. vaaus, comprising over 45.22% of the total anophelines collected, followed
by &.barbirostris, &. indefinitus, An. subpictus arid An. tesselatus. All of these species
were ntore exophilic rather thart endoplzilic. An. barbirostris and An. subpictus are known as
vectors arzd szlspected vectors wich are inzportant irt transmittirlg nzalaria in Central Sulawesi.
This two-st~spectedvector species slzowed sanze pattern of bitirtg activity. For &.barbirostris
the peak of biting activity was close to nzidniglzt irtdoors and outdoors (between I I pm-4 am)
and for &. subpictus between 9 pnz -3 am, nzainly before midnight indoors and outdoors.
Regression of the log-transfomtecl ntean number caught with the rairzjhll showed no
