DNA barcoding of morphologically characterized mosquitoes belonging to the subfamily Culicinae from Sri Lanka
25 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vectors of mosquito-borne diseases in Sri Lanka, except for malaria, belong to the subfamily Culicinae, which includes nearly 84% of the mosquito fauna of the country. Hence, accurate and precise species identification of culicine mosquitoes is a crucial factor in implementing effective vector control strategies. During the present study, a combined effort using morphology and DNA barcoding was made...
