The authors studied the population-and-species-specific structure of malaria mosquitoes in the Caspian Lowland and Kuma-Manych Hollow (Republic of Kalmykia, Stavropol Territory). Five Anopheles mosquito species were identified. An. messeae and An. atroparvus were dominant; An. maculipennis, An. hyrcanus, and An. sacharovi were ecologically specialized and relatively rare. An. sacharovi was first found in Kalmykia, which is the most dangerous malaria vector in the south regions of the CIS. This allows the former known borders of its area to be expanded to the northwest Paleartics. An. messeae showed a high rate of inversions along both arms of chromosome 3 in homo- and heterozygous states, as well as a unique inversion in sex chromosome. The An. atroparvus population in the region was found to have a high rate of inversion on the 3L arm, which had been previously recognized as rare in Ukraine only.
作者研究了里海低地和库马-马尼奇洼地（卡尔梅克共和国、斯塔夫罗波尔边疆区）疟蚊的种群和物种特异性结构。鉴定出了五种按蚊。梅氏按蚊和阿氏按蚊占主导地位；伪杂鳞库蚊、赫坎按蚊和萨氏按蚊在生态上具有特殊性且相对罕见。萨氏按蚊首次在卡尔梅克被发现，它是独联体南部地区最危险的疟疾传播媒介。这使得其已知分布区域的先前边界扩展到了西北古北区。梅氏按蚊在3号染色体双臂的纯合和杂合状态下都表现出较高的倒位率，以及性染色体上的一个独特倒位。该地区的阿氏按蚊种群在3L臂上发现有较高的倒位率，此前仅在乌克兰被认为罕见。
