Abstract excerpt
The Anopheles dirus complex of mosquitoes contains some of the most important vectors of malaria in Southeast Asia.

The method utilizes allele-specific amplification to detect fixed differences between the species in the DNA sequence of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer...
