Studies on Anopheles fluviatilis and Anopheles culicifacies sibling species in relation to malaria in forested hilly and deforested riverine ecosystems in northern Orissa, India.

In a malaria-endemic region in northwestern Orissa, India, a longitudinal study was undertaken to delineate information on the sibling species of Anopheles fluviatilis and Anopheles culicifacies and their bionomics and role in malaria transmission in forested and deforested ecosystems. In forested villages, An. fluviatilis sibling species S (97.97%) and T (2.02%) were present. The former was highly anthropophagic (human blood index 0.88). Among the sibling species of An. culicifacies, species B (27.96%), C (71.1%), and B/C heterozygotes (0.94%) were present and were highly zoophagic. In deforested riverine villages An. fluviatilis was nearly absent and An. culicifacies sibling species A (0.48%), B (21.1%), C (77.94%), and B/C heterozygotes (0.48%) were present. In forested villages, the annual parasite incidence (269 cases/1,000) and the slide positivity rate (45%) were significantly higher than those in deforested areas, which had values of 39 cases/1,000 and 27%, respectively. The study showed that the high endemicity of malaria in the forested villages was due primarily to 2 vectors, the high rate of anthropophagy of An. fluviatilis species S, and also the more favorable ecological conditions for this vector.
