In-Depth Information
An. nili
complex
Yes
?
There is no indication of
P. vivax
infection by ELISA in specimens sampled
in Ethiopia (
Nigatu et al., 1994
), but this may be due to lack of the parasite
within its distribution (
Antonio-Nkondjio et al., 2005
).
An. pharoensis
Theobald
No
Yes
P. vivax
circumsporozoite proteins were detected by ELISA in
An. pharoensis
sampled in southwest Ethiopia (
Nigatu et al., 1994
).
Vector species were identified during the preparation for a series of articles (
Hay et al., 2010c
;
Sinka et al., 2010a
,
2010b
,
2011
,
2012
) regarding the dominant vector
species of human malaria. The potential for 71 anopheline species and species complexes to transmit
P. vivax
are shown alphabetically by region.

‡
Yes = evidence of wild/naturally infected mosquitoes; Yes(?) = evidence of laboratory infected mosquitoes or secondary information implicating species as a vector;
? = no information found to confirm species can carry
P. vivax
, but nothing to state it cannot, or unconfirmed or unclear references to species
P. vivax
vector status.
