A new record of Crambionella stuhlmanni is reported from the east coast of South Africa. The material is described using quantitative morphological data, and mitochondrial (CO1) and nuclear (ITS-1) sequence data. The species can be diagnosed by a combination of morphological features including the presence of conical projections on velar lappets, the absence of orbicular appendages among mouthl...

Although Malaysia is considered free of human malaria, there has been a growing number Plasmodium knowlesi cases. This alarming trend highlighted the need for our understanding this parasite and its associated vectors, especially considering role genetic diversity in adaptation evolution among vectors endemic areas, which currently significant knowledge gap their fundamental biology. Thus, stud...
