The Hyrcanus Group comprises important vectors of malaria because of Plasmodium vivax Grassi and Feletti and filariasis caused by Brugia malayi Brug in many countries of South, Southeast and East Asian regions. In Thailand, eight species members (Anopheles argyropus Swellengrebel, An. crawfordi Reid, An. nigerrimus Giles, An. nitidus Harrison, Scanlon & Reid, An. paraliae Sandosham, An. peditaeniatus Leicester, An. pursati Laveran and An. sinensis Wiedemann) of the Hyrcanus Group have been…

A multiplex PCR assay for the identification of five species of the Anopheles barbirostris complex in Thailand
TLDR
This multiplex-PCR assay is potentially able to definitely identify all six species of the Barbirostris Complex and was validated on five species present in Thailand.
Molecular analysis reveals a high diversity of Anopheles species in Karama, West Sulawesi, Indonesia
Understanding local Anopheles species compositions and bionomic traits are vital for an effective malaria vector intervention strategy. Though eight malaria vectors, including species complexes, have…
Multiplex PCR Assay for the Identification of Four Species of the Anopheles Leucosphyrus Sub-Group in Malaysia
TLDR
This method will be useful to accurately identify the major Anopheles Leucosphyrus Group species in Malaysia, which are difficult to identify morphologically, to determine the correct vector as well as its geographical distribution.
Species diversity and insecticide resistance within the Anopheles hyrcanus group in Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand
Background Members of the Anopheles hyrcanus group have been incriminated as important malaria vectors. This study aims to identify the species and explore the insecticide susceptibility profile…
Molecular identification of native Wolbachia pipientis in Anopheles minimus in a low-malaria transmission area of Umphang Valley along the Thailand-Myanmar border
TLDR
The data presented herein provide the first molecular evidence of a Wolbachia strain in An.
Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) from Villages and Forest Areas of Rural Communes in Khanh Hoa and Binh Phuoc Provinces, Vietnam
TLDR
The significance of using molecular data in an integrated systematic approach to identify cryptic species and better understand their role in disease transmission is re-emphasized.
Scanning electron microscopy of Anopheles hyrcanus group (Diptera: Culicidae) eggs in Thailand and an ultrastructural key for species identification
TLDR
Comparisons of the egg structure among the eight species showed that the eggs differed with respect to the following characteristics: the deck—complete, split and incomplete decks found together within an egg batch/An.
Morphological and molecular identification reveals a high diversity of Anopheles species in the forest region of the Cambodia–Laos border
TLDR
Molecular methods combined with morphological analysis to determine species composition, population dynamics and bionomic characteristics can facilitate a better understanding of the factors driving malaria transmission and the effects of interventions, and can aid in eliminating malaria.
Trophic Behavior and Species Diversity of the Anopheles barbirostris Complex (Diptera: Culicidae) in Thailand
TLDR
With a better understanding of the sibling vector species and their spatial distributions, more specific and effective control strategies for vectors of malaria and filariasis in Thailand can be achieved.
Diversity and biting patterns of Anopheles species in a malaria endemic area, Umphang Valley, Tak Province, western Thailand.

Multiplex PCR assay for malaria vector Anopheles minimus and four related species in the Myzomyia Series from Southeast Asia
Abstract.  Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) of the Anopheles (Cellia) Myzomyia Series are important malaria vectors in Africa, India and Southeast Asia. Among 10 named species of Myzomyia known from…
First Record of a New Member of Anopheles Hyrcanus Group From Iran: Molecular Identification, Diagnosis, Phylogeny, Status of kdr Resistance and Plasmodium Infection
TLDR
The data from this study led to the introduction of a new member/form within the Hyrcanus Group, identification and definition of the status of knockdown resistance related to pyrethroids and DDT in their vgsc gene, detection of Plasmodium infection, and further evidence on genetic relatedness within these taxa.
High throughput multiplex assay for species identification of Papua New Guinea malaria vectors: members of the Anopheles punctulatus (Diptera: Culicidae) species group.
TLDR
A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay specific for known species-specific nucleotide differences in the internal transcribed spacer 2 region was developed and identified the five species most frequently implicated in transmitting disease (An. punctulatus, An. koliensis, the An. farauti complex), enabling further mosquito strain identification and simultaneous detection of microbial pathogens.
The development and evaluation of a single step multiplex PCR for simultaneous detection of Anopheles annularis group mosquitoes, human host preference and Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite presence.
Molecular taxonomy of members of the Anopheles hyrcanus group from Thailand and Indonesia
TLDR
The misidentification of hyrcanus group species has important implications for malaria vector control; more comprehensive studies employing gene sequences are required to clarify the number of species in the group, their distribution and vector status.
A newly recognized species in the Anopheles Hyrcanus Group and molecular identification of related species from the Republic of South Korea (Diptera: Culicidae)
We report here a previously unrecognized mosquito species from the Republic of South Korea that is closely related to Anopheles (Anopheles) sinensis. We also present an rDNA ITS2-based method for…
A single multiplex assay to identify major malaria vectors within the African Anopheles funestus and the Oriental An. minimus groups.
TLDR
This universal PCR method permits the discrimination of 10 species within the subgenus Cellia, among which figure three major malaria vectors, and constitutes a very efficient and powerful tool to improve the authors' knowledge on these species distribution and biology.
Susceptibility of eight species members in the Anopheles hyrcanus group to nocturnally subperiodic Brugia malayi
TLDR
Two refractory mechanisms; direct toxicity and/or melanotic encapsulation against filarial larval were involved in the refractoriness of development in the thoracic muscles of the mosquito.
