Among a dozen mosquito types in Milan, experts are keeping a close eye out for the anopheles mosquito which is capable of transmitting malaria. |
The anopheles is more common in the country, while the Culex is a city pest. |
Usually it can be definitely shown that no anopheles occur there. |
Other mosquitoes may be there in abundance, but if no anopheles, there is no malaria. |
It should be remembered that the anopheles can fly only about a hundred or two hundred yards. |
If the body is stuck out nearly at right angles to the surface on which the insect is resting, it is an anopheles. |
