    Abstract:
    Routine sampling of mosquito populations in rural villages was carried out during 13 months at 4 locations in southern Bali Island, Indonesia. Sampling was by light trapping and early night resting collections around animal stables. Specimens collected were preserved for assay of arthropod-borne viruses; 104,608 specimens representing 20 species were prepared in 2681 pools for viral assay. Anopheles barbirostris and An. subpictus have been shown to be important vectors of Brugia malayi and B. timori and of malaria and Wuchereria bancrofti in other parts of Indonesia but have not been incriminated in transmission of disease agents in Bali. Anopheles vagus may be involved in filarial transmission in other regions but is not regarded as important in Bali. Culex fuscocephala, Cx. gelidus and Cx. tritaeniorhynchus have been incriminated in the transmission of Japanese encephalitis virus in Indonesia and Cx. vishnui has been similarly implicated in other countries. The populations of these mosquitoes are compared and plotted against rainfall. The potential of the more common species as vector of some human pathogens is discussed.
