Some characteristics of the larval breeding sites of Anopheles culicifacies species B and E in Sri Lanka.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Anopheles culicifacies Giles, the major malaria vector in Sri Lanka, exists as a species complex comprising two sympatric sibling species--species B and E. Species E is reported to be the major vector of Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum parasites in Sri Lanka, whilst species B is a poor or nonvector as in India. Knowledge of the breeding habits of the two sibling speci...
متن کاملBionomic Aspects of the Anopheles subpictus Species Complex in Sri Lanka
Anopheles subpictus Grassi s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae) functions as a secondary malaria vector to Anopheles culicifacies Giles s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae) in Sri Lanka. The taxon A. subpictus is reported to exist as a species complex comprising four sibling species (A-D) that can be differentiated through polytene chromosome banding patterns and stage-specific morphometric traits in India. Based on...
متن کاملFormal taxonomy of species C of the Anopheles minimus sibling species complex (Diptera: Culicidae)
The nomenclatural identity of species C of the Anopheles minimus complex is resolved by excluding the available junior synonyms of the nominotypical member of the complex and naming it An. harrisoni Harbach & Manguin, sp. n. Anopheles formosaensis I Tsuzuki, An. christophersi Theobald and An. christophersi var. alboapicalis Theobald are retained as junior synonyms of An. minimus Theobald based ...
متن کاملDistribution of Anopheles culicifacies and Detection of its Sibling Species E from Madhya Pradesh: Central India
BACKGROUND Anopheles culicifacies is an important vector of malaria in Southeast Asia, contributing to almost 70% of malaria cases in India. It exists as a complex of five morphologically indistinguishable species A, B, C, D and E with varied geographical distribution patterns. In India, 8% of the total population of Madhya Pradesh (Central India) contributes about 30% of total malaria cases, 6...
