Abstract

Two Thailand strains of Anopheles nivipes and one of An. philippinensis have been colonized by the artificial mating technique. The essential methods and colonization techniques are described. Anopheles philippinensis was more easily colonized than An. nivipes. Differences were detected in the laboratory feeding propensity and ovipositional behavior of these species. Other small biological difference also were noted.
