Seasonal prevalence of members of the Culex vishnui subgroup, the major vectors of Japanese encephalitis virus (JE) in an endemic district of Andhra Pradesh, was investigated. Approximately 15,500 mosquitoes belonging to 2 genera and 5 species were collected by indoor-resting collections. The predominant species were found to be from the Cx. vishnui subgroup, which comprised 42.6% of the total collection, followed by Anopheles subpictus (40.4%), An. hyrcanus (12.8%), Cx. gelidus (3.5%), and An. barbirostris (0.8%). Mosquitoes of the Cx. vishnui subgroup were collected throughout the year, and densities of females ranged from 2.3/man-hour in January 1999 to 26.0/man-hour in December 1999. Ninety-three cases of Japanese encephalitis (27 confirmed serologically) were reported, mainly during the monsoon months of November and December. A significant positive correlation between densities of mosquitoes of the Cx. vishnui subgroup and occurrence of Japanese encephalitis cases (r = 0.765, P < 0.01) was observed. The factors responsible for transmission of JE in the endemic district are discussed.
