Abstract excerpt
Anopheles superpictus has been implicated as the most widespread malaria vector in Iran. We collected adult specimens from eight provinces across the country and subjected them to a morphological investigation as well as molecular analysis of mitochondrial DNA COI-COII region, using PCR-RFLP and analysis of DNA sequence alignment for 708bp of the COI locus. Two distinct morphological forms (A and B) of the...
