Preliminary survey on Anopheles species distribution in Botswana shows the presence of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles funestus complexes

Botswana is one of the four front line malaria elimination countries in Southern Africa, with malaria
control activities that include routine vector control. Past and recent studies have shown that Anopheles arabiensis
is the only known vector of Plasmodium parasites in the country. This report presents a preliminary evaluation on
Anopheles species composition in seven districts of Botswana with some inferences on their vectorial role. (MapVEu VBP0000224)
