Evidence of new species for malaria vector Anopheles nuneztovari sensu lato in the Brazilian Amazon region.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Knowledge of the ecological differences between the molecular forms of Anopheles gambiae and their sibling species, An. arabiensis might lead to understanding their unique contribution to disease transmission and to better vector control as well as to understanding the evolutionary forces that have separated...
