Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Malaria infects around 216 million people annually with estimated 445,000 deaths globally. Anopheles culicifacies is the vector of malaria in Sri Lanka, a complex of five morphologically identical sibling species of which precise identification using DNA-based methods is still under experimentation. This study was carried out in Sri Lanka to observe the utility of BCE-PCR assay based on...
