The Anopheles gambiae

The "Anopheles gambiae" complex consists of at least seven morphologically indistinguishable species of mosquitoes in the genus "Anopheles". The complex was recognised in the 1960s and includes the most important vectors of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly of the most dangerous malaria parasite, "Plasmodium falciparum".
