중국얼룩날개모기 (한국종자)의 실험실 사육

초록

Many Korean entomologists have been tried to colonize the Korea Anopheles sinensis strain, an important malaria vector in Korea, their efforts, however, were not successful up to now. Recently we obtained a successful free-mating colony from this mosquito strain. The colony was established from 317 first stage larvae of F1-progenies, and was being maintained for 16 successive generations using artificial mating for adults. Human blood source was used for its first 5 generations, and it has been further colonization for 11 generations with white rat as a source of blood meal. At 9th generation, a free mating sub-colony was selected by co-habitating 200 and 300 newly emerged females and males in a 30 cm cube cage. The insemination rates of 6 selected generations of free mating sub-colony were 40.21% (39/97), 38% (19/50), 17% (17/100), 36% (36/100), 38% (38/100) and 34% (34/100), respectively. Comparisons on some biological aspect between artificial mating colony and selected free mating sub-colony also have been conducted.
