Anopheles Mosquito The Anopheles mosquito is known universally as the Malaria Mosquito because it is considered the primary vector of the disease. It is also considered a transmitter of heartworm in dogs. When resting, the stomach area of the Anopheles mosquito points upward, rather than being even with the surrounding surface like most mosquitoes. | | Breeding Habits The female Anopheles mosquito will lay her eggs in a wide range of locations, including fresh water or salt-water, vegetative or non-vegetative, shady or sunlit. Ground pools, small streams, irrigated lands, freshwater marshes, forest pools, and any other place with clean, slow-moving water are all considered prime locations for her egg-laying. Females, particularly fertilized females, may survive winter by hibernating in caves. Eggs are capable of surviving cold temperatures; however, freezing usually kills eggs.
