Abstract
Studies were conducted to know the feeding behaviour of adult mosquito species inhabiting salt pan area outside and adjoining salt pans. Feeding ecology of the adult mosquito species revealed that only 3 species of mosquitoes belonging to 2 genera namely Culex sitiens, Culex tritaeniorhynchus and Anopheles subpictus, colonized the salt pan area and they were largely zoophilic and opportunistic feeders during the study period i.e., from September 2004 to March 2006.
