are endogenous to rubber plantations and how they
interact with each other and the environment. As
mentioned earlier, many Anopheles vectors, including An.
dirus, An. minimus and An. maculatus, behave anthropophagically
rather than zoophagically and are night biters
with photophobic behaviors. Among these, An. maculatus
is more likely to behave zoophagically. They are all careful
feeders that strike when the victim is stationary.
