Abstract

Fifty-one of 57 blood-fed female Culiseta inornata (Williston) and 21 of 23 Culiseta alaskaensis (Ludlow) collected near the center of the city had fed on ruminants, through the nearest such hosts (cattle, sheep and deer) were 2.5 km away. The appearance of the abdomens suggested that 20 of 71 females (28%) had fed less than 24 hr before capture.
