Field survey at important protected areas and collection of secondary information’s indicated that six species of pheasants are present in Mizoram (i.e. 11.8% of the world pheasant species). They are Green Peafowl (Pavo muticus Linnaeus, Mizo - Ârawn), Hume’s Pheasant (Syrmaticus humiae Hume, Mizo - Vavu), Blyth’s Tragopan (Tragopan blythii Jerdon, Mizo - Vangâ), Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus Linnaeus, Mizo - Ramâr), Kalij Pheasant (Lophura leucomelananos Latham, Mizo - Vahrit) and Grey Peacock Pheasant (Polyplectron bicalcaratum Linnaeus, Mizo - Varihaw). There is only one endangered species i.e. P. muticus, while the vulnerable species T. blythii is recorded at two protected areas. S. humiae is a near threatened species; population of this species is thinly distributed in eastern side of Mizoram along/near the Myanmar border. The three lower risk categories of pheasants (G. gallus, L. leucomelanos and P. bicalcaratum) are resident species, found in most parts of the state. L. leucomelanos is the most common species, found in all 11 protected areas followed by the G. gallus and P. bicalcaratum, both of them are found in 9 protected areas. T. blythii and S. humiae are concentrated within protected areas of high altitude eastern side of the state.

Lengteng Wildlife Sanctu-ary (LWS) and Murlen National Park (MNP), Mizoram, north-eastern India during April-May 2011. By using call count technique we recorded the call of one male at an unusual time of 1142 hrs at LWS at an elevation of 2100 m inside the dense forest close to cliff area. The estimated population is 8 from the probable habitat of 15 km2 in LWS. No signs of Tragopan were detected at MNP.

The status, diversity and the number of vectors and poten-tial vectors within Mizoram are poorly studied. This study identified 16 Anopheles species, out of which 12 are potential vectors of malaria in undivided Aizawl district of Mizoram. There are 4 species identified form the sub-genus Anopheles and 12 species from the sub genus Cellia. The result also indicates that Champhai district have the lowest anopheline diversity and Mamit district the highest. The role of each vector and potential vectors of malaria has to be further investigated.
