DNA barcoding mosquitoes: advice for potential prospectors

Abstract excerpt

Mosquitoes' importance as vectors of pathogens that drive disease underscores the importance of precise and comparable methods of taxa identification among their species.

This review follows the research's recent journey into the use...
