Anopheles merus <\/em>belongs to the Anopheles gambiae species complex, which consists of at least seven species, and it is a locally important vector in eastern and southern Africa where it is mainly found along the coast. An. merus<\/em> is found in high numbers in shallow brackish pools and marsh or swamp areas along the coast. As a consequence, this species does not exhibit density changes in response to tidal fluctuations nor does it appear to tolerate very high levels of salinity. An. merus<\/em> is generally opportunistic in host selection, depending on host availability and females have a tendency to bite and rest outdoors. An. merus<\/em> has previously been considered as only a minor or unimportant vector, however, it has been identified as playing an unexpectedly important role along the Tanzanian coast and more recently in Mozambique. Its genome was sequenced in 2012 [1]<\/p>\n
