OBJECTIVE To identify the Anopheles culicifacies sibling species complex and study their vectorial role in malaria endemic regions of Odisha. [...] Key MethodMETHODS Mosquitoes were collected from 6 malaria endemic districts using standard entomological collection methods. An. culicifacies sibling species were identified by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) region of mitochondrial DNA.Expand

Studies on some species of Indian Anopheles based on mitochondrial gene COII (Diptera: Culicidae: Anophelinae)
TLDR
This study analysed a partial sequence of 183 bp (approx.) of COII gene for four species of subfamily Anophelinae of Anopheles and found that the interspecific distance between these Anophele species was calculated to be 9.88% while intraspecific distance between populations of same species was 0.65%.
Bionomics of Anopheles fluviatilis and Anopheles culicifacies (Diptera: Culicidae) in Relation to Malaria Transmission in East-Central India
Abstract The southern districts of Odisha State in east-central India have been highly endemic for falciparum malaria for many decades. However, there is no adequate information on the abundance of…

Vector Genetics in Malaria Control
TLDR
Cytogenetic analysis of polytene chromosomes revealed that A. culicifacies is a complex of five sibling species designated as A, B, C, D, and E, which differ in their larval and adult biology, response to insecticides, and capacity to transmit the disease.

Anopheles culicifacies: siblings species composition and its relationship to malaria incidence.
TLDR
The difference in malaria incidence appears to be due to the difference in the composition of the sibling species which is, the predominant presence of species A in the western district and its absence in eastern districts.

TLDR
The ovarian polytene chromosomes of adult Anopheles culicifacies from natural populations in Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka, and from four laboratory colonies are compared with the published cytological map for this taxon, finding both types of Xs are found in a natural population near New Delhi in the apparent absence of heterozygotes.

Identification of all members of the anopheles culicifacies complex using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction assays.
TLDR
This assay system is the first, and the best available at present to distinguish all sibling species and especially to discriminate non-vector, species B from all the vector species, A, C, D, and E, of the An.
Evidence for a new malaria vector species, species E, within the Anopheles culicifacies complex (Diptera: Culicidae).
TLDR
It is proposed that the nonvector population with acrocentric Y-chromosome sons retain the original designation of species B and that the vector population with the submetacentric Y- chromosome sons be designated as species E, a new species.
