Identification of the main malaria vectors in the Anopheles gambiae species complex using a TaqMan real-time PCR assay
22 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Anopheles gambiae sensu lato species complex comprises seven sibling species of mosquitoes that are morphologically indistinguishable. Rapid identification of the two main species which vector malaria, Anopheles arabiensis and An. gambiae sensu stricto, from the non-vector species Anopheles quadriannulatus is often required as part of vector control programmes. Currently the most widely used...
