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