Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Anopheles stephensi is the key vector of malaria throughout the Indian subcontinent and Middle East and an emerging model for molecular and genetic studies of mosquito-parasite interactions. The type form of the species is responsible for the majority of urban malaria transmission across its range. RESULTS: Here, we report the genome sequence and annotation of the Indian strain of the type form of An....
