Mosquitoes Bite It Out
With Scientists In
Struggle for Control
Though gardeners, fishermen,
picnickers and other out-of-door
folk sometimes feel that they are
being bitten by all the mosqui
toes in Alaska, scientists have
proved this isn't so.
The fact is that among the
various species of mosquitoes so
far identified in the Territory
only part of them bile human
beings. Others have very selec
tive tastes, some biting frogs,
some exclusively moose, some
porcupines, others birds, while
some prefer rabbits. And an
even harder to-believo bit of evi
dence is that some mosquitoes
don't bite at all. To date only
the female mosquito has b( on
caught biting, but scientists
aren't sure this entirely exoner
ates the male who may merely
be quicker on the getaway. Ac
cusations actually have been
brought out against one male,
charging with biting or intent
to bite an entomologist, and this
insect's corpse now rests in an
eastern entomological museum
collection pending further evi
dence.
\Vhetln r mosquito o and other
blood sucking insects of Alaska
are disease carriers has not been
established. Malaria, sleeping
sickness, tularemia and other
diseases are known to be trans
mitted by blood sucking insects
elsewhere when conditions such
as temperature ranges, length
of seasons and other climatic
factors are favorable. Entomolo
gists are working on this public
health phase of the biting insect
problem in Alaska as well as
on the economic one of seeking
data which will lead to control
of the pests that hamper both
outdoor work and recreation.
These studies include determin
ing the numbers and varieties
of species, their life cycles, feed
ing, breeding and living habits,
and other information which
will indicate when, where and
how they are most vulnerable to
control measures.
