Morphological versus molecular identifications
Morphological species identification | Molecular species identification | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
An. arabiensis* | An. christyi | An. sp. 15 BSL-2014 | An. cf. pharoensis* | An. cf. coustani | |
An. coustani s.l | 0 | 0 | 50 | 9 | 0 |
An. pharoensis | 2 | 1 | 6 | 14 | 1 |
Total | 2 (1) | 1 | 56 | 23 (5) | 1 |
Two secondary vectors were identified morphologically (An. coustani (s.l.) and An. pharoensis), while five species were identified molecularly
Specimens that were found to be sporozoite positive by ELISA are labeled with an asterisk (*) with the number of positive samples in parentheses
