The host feeding specificity of Anopheles fluviatilis sibling species S, T, and U was determined by analyzing blood meal source using countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis. A distinct difference in the feeding patterns was observed among these species. Species S was found to be predominantly anthropophagic with 91% of the population having fed on human blood. In contrast, species T and U were either exclusively or primarily zoophagic.
