Increased Threat of Urban Malaria from Anopheles stephensi Mosquitoes, Africa. Emerg Infect Dis. 2019 Jul 17;25(7): Authors: Takken W, Lindsay S Abstract Malaria continues to be a major health threat in Africa, mainly in rural areas. Recently, the urban malaria vector Anopheles stephensi invaded Djibouti and Ethiopia, potentially spreading to other areas of Africa. Urgent action is needed to prevent urban malaria epidemics from emerging and causing a public health disaster. PMID: 31063455 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
