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.

Distribution of Anopheles culicifacies and Detection of its Sibling Species E from Madhya Pradesh: Central India

This is the first report to detect species E from Madhya Pradesh region which necessitate for reconsideration of species distribution of each An.

Biology & control of Anopheles culicifacies Giles 1901

Current priority areas of research should include in-depth vector biology and control in problem pockets, preparation of malaria-risk maps for focused and selective interventions, monitoring insecticide resistance, cross-border initiative and data sharing, and coordinated control efforts for achieving transmission reduction, and control of drug-resistant malaria.

Population Dynamics and Insecticide Susceptibility of Anopheles culicifacies in Malaria Endemic Districts of Chhattisgarh, India

A study in tribal areas of Chhattisgarh state to investigate the seasonal and ecotype-wise distribution, breeding habits, sibling species composition, insecticide susceptibility, and role in the transmission of the local vector population found An.

Biology & control of Anopheles culicifacies Giles 1901 Biology & control of Anopheles culicifacies Giles 1901

This work states that Anopheles culicifacies is responsible for epidemic malaria in its range of distribution and may cause intense malaria transmission in an estimated 75 million tribal population in India.

Studies on some species of Indian Anopheles based on mitochondrial gene COII (Diptera: Culicidae: Anophelinae)

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%.

Vector Genetics in Malaria Control

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.
