The preference of some mosquitoes in the Anopheles leucosphyrus (Leucosphyrus) group—including those that transmit ...

Mosquitoes are the deadliest animal on the planet, killing hundreds of thousands of people every year by transmitting malaria ...

Not all mosquitoes are to blame, however. Every bloodsucking malaria vector comes from those within the group Anopheles leucosphyrus, which encompasses a comparatively small portion of the planet’s ...
