Malaria vector species
Anopheline vector-species of malaria in the epidemiological zones
Zone numbers and geographical naming follow Macdonald, G. (1957; The Epidemiology and Control of Malaria [xiv + 201 + xl +11 pp.] Oxford University Press, London). Abbreviations for subgenera given in parentheses are:A,Anopheles s.str.; C, Cellia; K, Kerteszia; N, Nyssorhynchus. Main (primary) vectors are distinguished from subsidiary (incidental and local) vectors by bold type. The data have been compiled from: M.W. Service (1993) Mosquitoes (Culicidae) in: Medical Insects and Arachnids (R.P. Lane & R.W. Grosskey, eds.) Chapman & Hall, London, pp. 120-240.
