Odisha state is highly endemic for malaria and among several Anopheline species found in the state, Anopheles subpictus is known to be one of the most prevalent species. An. subpictus complex consists of four sibling species i,e A,B,C and D. However, no work has been conducted on prevalence of sibling species of An. subpictus in Odisha. Hence attempt was made to study the prevalence of sibling species of An. subpictus and their role in transmission of malaria in four districts i,e Angul, Khurda, Cuttack and Puri of Odisha using Mitochondrial Gene, Cytochrome C Oxidase subunit I (COI) known as DNA barcode. The sibling species B of An. subpictus with sporozoite were reported for the first time in Odisha.
奥里萨邦是疟疾的高度流行地区，在该邦发现的几种按蚊中，伪威氏按蚊被认为是最普遍的物种之一。伪威氏按蚊复合体由四个姐妹种组成，即A、B、C和D。然而，在奥里萨邦尚未开展关于伪威氏按蚊姐妹种流行情况的研究。因此，我们尝试利用线粒体基因细胞色素C氧化酶亚基I（COI），即所谓的DNA条形码，研究奥里萨邦安古尔、库尔达、库塔克和普里四个地区伪威氏按蚊姐妹种的流行情况及其在疟疾传播中的作用。在奥里萨邦首次报告了带有子孢子的伪威氏按蚊姐妹种B。
