dc.description.abstract The host preference of indoor resting Anopheles arabiensis has been determined using a direct enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. A total of 6 11 specimens, 258 from human dwellings, 179 from mixed dwellings, and 174 from cattle sheds, was examined.The proportion of human blood meals identified was highest from mosquitoes caught in human dwellings (915%), followed by those from mixed dwellings (20.2%) and cattle sheds (35%) (P<O.OOOl).The smaller proportion of human blood meals from mixed dwellings suggests that cattle may protect humans fromA. arabiensis. en_US
