Identifying the species of the subfamily Anophelinae that are vectors is important to vector and malaria control. Despite the increase in cases, vector mosquitoes remain poorly known in Brazilian indigenous communities. This study explores Anophelinae mosquito diversity in the following areas: (1) a Yanomami reserve in the northwestern Amazon Brazil biome and (2) the Pantanal biome in southwestern Brazil.

- Studies conducted in Central Brazil's Pantanal biome aimed to update records on malaria-carrying mosquitoes and assess the area's vulnerability to malaria transmission.
- Over the course of a year, researchers collected nearly 25,000 anopheline mosquitoes, finding that the primary malaria vector, Anopheles darlingi, was significantly present, especially near the river during specific seasonal transitions.
- The study concluded that due to the influx of workers and tourists from malaria-endemic regions, ongoing surveillance and control measures are essential to prevent malaria from returning to the Pantanal area.
