ABSTRACT
Studies on bioecology of An. philippinensis a vector of malaria was carried out in eight islands of the Andaman group. It was found that An. philippinensis preferred to rest and bite outdoors. Maximum biting was observed during 1800 to 2100 hrs on both cattle and human bait. The maximum breeding of An. philippinensis was recorded in slow moving stream followed by ponds with vegetation. The breeding sites infested with Chara and Spirogyra algae were most favourable whereas, with Lemna and Oscillatoria were unfavourable for the proliferation of this species. The breeding association of An. philippinensis was found with other seven anopheline species in different breeding habitats.
