Identification of novel Glutathione S-Transferases epsilon 2 mutation in Anopheles maculipennis s.s. (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]

Heliyon, 2019
Anopheles maculipennis complex comprises some important malaria vectors in Iran, Middle East, and Europ. The principal way to control of malaria remains on the use of chemical insecticides against its vectors because there is no vaccine for malaria ...

Distribution of Anopheles daciae and other Anopheles maculipennis complex species in Serbia. [PDF]

Parasitol Res, 2018
Malaria is one of the most severe health problems facing the world today. Until the mid-twentieth century, Europe was an endemic area of malaria, with the Balkan countries being heavily infested. Sibling species belonging to the Anopheles maculipennis complex are well-known as effective vectors of Plasmodium in Europe.
