We need the culture of three mosquito species namely Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus for our insectary establishment. We will be very grateful, if anybody inform us, from where we can get the same.
best would be to search the net for researchers that have published on repellent testing on these species. Among those in your area, are, for example:
Involved in repellent testing against these species, e.g.

In addition, there are governemental organisations that do tis kind of research, but hose from countries more abroad might pose a problem with customs….
You may get in touch with either Director, ICMR-National Institute of Malaria Research, New Delhi OR Director, ICMR-Vector Control Research Centre, Pudduchery to get the desired mosquito species i.e Anopheles stephensi, Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti. Both these institutes are culturing these mosquito species.
Dear, Sibylle Rahlenbeck, Thank you so much for providing these reference literature and your reply. I will try to find source for mosquito species with the help of this important information. Sibylle Rahlenbeck
