SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS

1. Studies on the anopheline fauna of Bastar district conducted by

Husainy was quoted by Dr. T. Ramchandra Rao in his book entitled

" The Anophelines of India" (1981) on page 362 as follows :-

"In a recent survey in Bastar district of Madhya Pradesh by

Husainy (1978) only 71 adults were collected out of 21,716

anophelines of all species. Analysing this small collection,

Husainy found that :

(1) the specimens were found mainly in forest areas;

(2) the feeding activities in general were completed before midnight;

(3) the species was more prevalent during the cold season;

(4) the altitude of occurrence ranged from 48 to 761 meters;

(5) 68 of the 71 specimens were collected at night and two

were collected in cattle sheds during daytime."

2. Published 35 scientific papers in various scientific journals (List appended).
