Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND OBJECTIVES: Anopheles mosquitoes are key malaria vectors, their high diversity influences transmission competence. Accurate species identification is crucial for understanding malaria epidemiology and implementing effective vector control strategies. The COX1 gene is a widely used DNA barcoding marker for Anopheles due to its high mutation rate and species-specific variations. This study evaluates the...
