Abstract
4713 Armigeres subalbatus (Conquillett) mosquitoes were caught off human and bovid baits, out of which 33.63% from human bait and 66.37% from bovid bait. In bovid baits 21.47% and 44.9% A. subalbatus were collected from indoor and outdoor respectively. Maximum number (1204) was recorded in May 2013 and minimum number (340) was collected in the month of February 2013.
