Abstract

A dispersal experiment on Culex tritaeniorhynchus females by a mark-release-recapture method was carried out at Pohgang city, Korea, in Augst 1974. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Of 23,115 females of C. tritaeniorhynchus released, 120 females were recaptured, giving 0.519% recapture rate and 0.00208 recovery ration. 2. Dispersal rates from the release site were 77.5% in 0-2km, 11.7% in 4-6 km and 5.8% in 6-8km. 3. C. tritaeniorhynchus females flew 7.5km in one day. The average of the daily mean distances was 1.55km, and it showed that the dispersal distance did not correlate with days after release.
