Abstract:
:Anopheles minimus, an important malaria vector of South East Asia, has reappeared in the Singhbum hills, East-Central India where deforestation and DDT residual spraying had reportedly eliminated it during the Malaria Eradication Programme. The species reported has been identified as sibling species A of the An. minimus complex. An. minimus is susceptible to both deltamethrin and DDT. The study shows that the environmental conditions in this region still favour the existence of the species and one of the possible reasons for its reappearance may be the scaling down of residual insecticide spraying in the area.
