Genetic structure and phylogeographic analysis of six Anopheles (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquito species using the mitochondrial COI gene marker in the Northern districts of Tamil Nadu, India.

Abstract excerpt

Species of Anopheles serve as the primary vectors of human malaria parasites worldwide. Accurate species identification is critical for the design and implementation of effective vector control strategies, particularly in regions where cryptic species complexes complicate surveillance and management. In this study, we examined the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of six Anopheles species-An....
