General distribution of primary vectors of malaria in India. An. cuclicifacies has wide distribution in rural plains, An. stephensi is an urban vector, An. fluviatilis is a vector in hills and foothills in the mainland, while An. minimus, An. nivipes and An. dirus are important vectors in the North Eastern India. An. sundaicus is restricted to the Andaman and Car Nicobar Islands. An. annularis (not shown in the figure) is suspected to play an important role in malaria transmission in the Eastern Indian states of Jharkhand and Orissa.
