Molecular identification of Anopheles squamosus (Diptera: Culicidae) using internal transcribed spacer 2

2025-08-19

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold><italic>Anopheles squamosus</italic> is a widespread mosquito species in sub-Saharan Africa. It is a potential vector for human malaria parasites and has been found naturally infected with <italic>Plasmodium falciparum</italic> and <italic>Plasmodium vivax</italic>. Morphological identification is challenging even with pristine specimens and current molecular meth...
