The recapture rates of wild-caught, unengorged Anopheles vestitipennis and Anopheles albimanus females were determined at 0, 400, and 800 m from a fixed release point in Belize, Central America. Three sampling trials, each consisting of two 12-hour collections, were performed at each distance during September–October 2003. A total of 1,621 An. vestitipennis and 1,326 An. albimanus were marked and released during the course of the study. The recapture rate of An. vestitipennis was greatest at 0 m (7.9%; 44/556) and declined from 3.0% (16/531) at 400 m to 0.2% (1/534) at 800 m. Anopheles albimanus females were recaptured only at the 0-m distance and in extremely low numbers (1.1%; 5/446). Biting patterns for the unmarked natural populations were similar to those previously described for Belize, and recaptures for both species occurred during these normal biting times. The overall recapture rates for An. vestitipennis (3.76%; 61/1,621) and An. albimanus (0.38%; 5/1,326) indicate that An. vestitipennis has a higher probability of being attracted to a human habitation.
