| Major Malaria Vectors Worldwide Map |
This map shows the most important malaria vectors with geographical naming following MacDonald, G. (1957; The Epidemiology and Control of Malaria [xiv + 201 + xl +11 pp.] Oxford University Press, London). Abbreviations for subgenera given in parentheses are: A,Anopheles s.str.; C, Cellia; K, Kerteszia; N, Nyssorhynchus. The data have been compiled from: M.W. Service (1993) Mosquitoes (Culicidae) in: Medical Insects and Arachnids (R.P. Lane & R.W. Grosskey, eds.) Chapman & Hall, London, pp. 120-240.
