Abstract excerpt
Malaria in the south-west Pacific is transmitted by members of the Anopheles punctulatus group which comprises 12 cryptic species with overlapping morphology. The most widely distributed species of the group is Anopheles farauti s.s. (An. farauti 1) found throughout northern Australia, Papua New Guinea, eastern Indonesia, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. A study of the population structure of this species using...
