Anopheles fluviatilis James is an important malaria vector in Indian subcontinent. An. fluviatilis exists as a complex of three sibling species, of which two species, T and U, have been colonized so far.

Gut microbes influence fitness and malaria transmission potential of Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi.

The midgut of parasite transmitting vector, Anopheles stephensi is a physiologically dynamic ecological niche of resident microbes. The gut resident microbes of anisomorphic and physiologically variable male and female A. stephensi mosquitoes were different (Rani et al.
