Genome analysis of a major urban malaria vector mosquito, Anopheles stephensi

Published inGenomeBiology.com, vol. 15, no. 9, 459

Publication date2014

Abstract

Anopheles stephensi is the key vector of malaria throughout the Indian subcontinent and Middle East and an emerging model for molecular and genetic studies of mosquito-parasite interactions. The type form of the species is responsible for the majority of urban malaria transmission across its range.
