Popis: Light-trap collections of mosquitoes were made at 2 pig-raising areas and at 1 semi-urban control collecting station near Jakarta, Indonesia from December 1971 through January 1973. Culex tritaeniorhynchus was the predominant species collected from rural stations. In pig areas, mosquito densities were highest during the rainy season, but a distinct increase in numbers was also recorded during the middle of the dry season, in July and August 1972. The dry season increase could not be explained by influence of rice culture practices on mosquito breeding, since it was most marked at the control, semi-urban collection site.
