| a molecular phylogeny of mosquitoes in the anopheles barbirostris subgroup reveals cryptic species: implications for identification of disease vectors. | the barbirostris subgroup of the genus anopheles includes six mosquito species that are almost identical in adult morphology, but differ in their roles in the transmission of malaria and filariasis within southeast asia. the lack of robust, diagnostic morphological characters in adults has contributed to extensive misidentification of the species. mosquitoes were collected from localities in thailand and indonesia, with an emphasis on specimens identified in the field as an. barbirostris and an. ... | 2009 | 19000771 |
