Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii, the main malaria vector in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, is a complex of at least five cryptic species

2025-11-14

Abstract excerpt

Malaria, a tropical disease caused by Plasmodium and transmitted by Anopheles, remains a public health concern in Brazil. While most cases occur in the Amazon, transmission persists in the Atlantic Forest, where Anopheles mosquitoes of the Kerteszia subgenus are the primary vectors of human and simian malaria. Previous studies using cytogenetics, isoenzymes, and molecular markers have suggested cryptic species wit...
