Abstract
Anopheles stephensi, the major vector of urban malaria in India, was recently detected for the first time
in Sri Lanka in Mannar Island on the northwestern coast. Since there are different biotypes of An. stephensi with
different vector capacities in India, a study was undertaken to further characterise the genotype and biotype of An.
stephensi in Mannar Island.
