Abstract

Anopheles stephensi is an urban malaria vector native in some Asian countries and recently emerged in Africa as an invasive vector competent in transmitting Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax. The coexistence of An. stephensi and Aedes arboviral vectors offers an optimal opportunity for successful integrated vector management with limited resources.

Keywords: Aedes vectors; Africa; Anopheles stephensi; arboviruses; invasive; malaria.
