[INDOLOGY] Mosquitoes

[Karttunen, Klaus J]

Dear James,
there is indeed very little. About mosquitoes my files only have, beside Jolly, one small note:
SCHWENTNER, E. 1954. “Drohne und Mücke”, KZ71, 198.
This, I suppose, is from Indo-Europeean perspective. IE is at least the next:
Wood, Francis Asbury 1920. “Names of Stinging, Gnawing and Rending Animals”, AJPh41, 223–239 & 336–354.

For other disease-carrying insects I could add:
Thieme, Paul 1965. “Die rigvedische Tierbezeichnungen”, KZ79, 211–223 (Kleine Schriften214–227) has at least flies.

On bugs and fleas:
BURROW, T. 1974. “Sanskrit matkuṇa-and utkuṇa-”, Księga pamiątkowa ku czi Eugeniusza Słuszkiewicza.Warszawa, 53–56.
LIEBICH, B. 1927. “Floh oder Wanze?”, ZII5, 153–163 (in Pañcatantra).

Finally, I cannot say, what this is, as I have not seen it:
*Moses, S. T. 1926. “Insect Pests and Some South Indian Beliefs”, QJMS16, 1925/26, 15–19.

Best,
Klaus

Dear colleagues,

I’ve been asked whether I know of any studies of mosquitoes or other disease-carrying insects in Indian literature. I don’t, and a search of the indology archive reveals nothing either. I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

Yours, with best wishes,

Jim
