Fragmentation of natural environments as a result of human interference has been
associated with a decrease in species richness and increase in abundance of a few species …

Extensive population structuring is known to occur in Anopheles darlingi, the primary
malaria vector of the Neotropics. We analysed the phylogeographic structure of the species …

Abstract Background In Brazil, the autochthonous transmission of extra-Amazonian malaria
occurs mainly in areas of the southeastern coastal Atlantic Forest, where Anopheles cruzii is …

Anopheles cruzii is the main vector of human and simian malaria in the Brazilian Atlantic
Forest. This biome, which is an important hotspot of malaria transmission, has suffered …

BACKGROUND In southeastern Brazil, autochthonous cases of malaria can be found near
Atlantic Forest fragments. Because the transmission cycle has not been completely clarified …

The population genetic structure of Anopheles darlingi, the major human malaria vector in
the Neotropics, was examined using seven microsatellite loci from nine localities in central …

The major drivers of the extensive biodiversity of the Neotropics are proposed to be
geological and tectonic events together with Pliocene and Pleistocene environmental and …

ABSTRACT Malaria transmission in South America is overwhelmingly located in the
Amazon region with limited cases outside that biome. A key factor in the mitigation of malaria …

Background Cryptic species complexes are common among anophelines. Previous
phylogenetic analysis based on the complete mtDNA COI gene sequences detected …

Abstract Knowledge of the fauna composition of anopheline mosquitoes, their ecological
aspects and behavior, and influence of climatic variables on their population dynamics can …
