摘要:The dynamics of a vector population follows a characteristic pattern determined by the normal or modified environmental conditions of the biotope and by vector behaviour. The wide use of the precise method of age grading developed by Detinova and Polovodova has led to the conclusion that the dynamics of the various age groups may indicate behavioural, environmental, and epidemiological trends and changes and their significance. Age grading is useful for the qualitative assessment of vector density in general and of man—mosquito contact from the operational and epidemiological points of view, but only when sampling in time and space and the processing of the material collected have been correctly performed.
