Identification of the Anopheles marshallii group and vector species composition in the forest ecozone of Akwa Ibom State, Southern Nigeria
The An. marshallii group was confirmed as an abundant malaria vector species in. Mkpat-Enin Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. While similar indoor vector control interventions are recommended for both species; other interventions may be needed to address the early evening outdoor biting observed in the An. marshallii group.
