Anopheles sinensis
Anopheles sinensis is a species of mosquito that transmits malaria as well as lymphatic filariasis. It is regarded as the most important vector of these human parasitic diseases in Southeast Asia [1][2]. It is the primary vector of vivax malaria (Plasmodium vivax) in many regions. In China it also transmits the filalarial parasite (Wuchereria bancrofti) [3], and arthropod roundworm (Romanomermis jingdeensis) [4]. In Japan it is also a vector of a roundworm Setaria digitata in sheep and goats [5][6]. Because of its similarity with other Anopheles, it is now considered a species complex comprising at least four species. Its genome was sequenced in 2014 [7].
