چکیده
This Study Examined the Morphological identification and distribution of Anopheles Species in Gwagwalada Town, F.C.T, Nigeria. In carrying out this study a total of 2,929 specimens of the Anopheles mosquitoes consisting of 1,790 adults reared from larvae and pupae were identified using morphological characters. Anopheles gambiae s.l constituted the highest overall preponderance in the indoor resting adults collected, 942 (82.70 %), then An. arabiensis with 91 (7.99 %), followed by An. rufipes 62 (5.62 %), and An. funestus constituted the least population 42(3.69 %) collected. There was high significant differences at (P<0.05) among the distribution of the various Anopheles species.
