摘要: Anopheles culicifacies , the major vector of malaria in Sri Lanka, and An. subpictus a secondary vector, exist as species complexes country. Among globally reported five sibling (A-E) culici- Jacies complex, only B E have been detected Lanka. However, all four (A-D) subpiclas complex present globatly are found Thi s article reviews data on characteris- tics these two main vectors Lanka methods for differentiating them, highlights importance understanding bio-ecological variations among order to de- velop an effective control program It is proposed that may evolved from then spread South India. The development ofDNA probes suitable field studies identified particular priority future work.
