Anopheles species associated with malaria transmission in gold-mining areas of northwest Colombia
The results confirm the role of An. darlingi, An. nuneztovari s.s. and An. punctimacula as malaria vectors. The presence of their immature stages in gold mining excavations identified these habitats as potential breeding sites for Anopheles species in El Bagre. In these areas, implementing larval source management might be recommended as a supplementary measure for LLINs and IRS in the malaria vector program.
