A multicentric study on understanding the bionomics of Indian malaria vectors across diverse eco-epidemiological settings
An. culicifacies was prevalent in all eight study states, with a higher abundance in Kanker and Bareilly. Changes in the resting behavior of An. minimus in Tripura, and insecticide resistance that has developed in An. culicifacies and An. stephensi against pyrethroids poses a significant concern. The findings of this study will aid in implementing effective vector control strategies in India's pre-elimination efforts against malaria.
