Molecular characterization, biological forms and sporozoite rate of Anopheles stephensi in southern Iran

To identify the biological forms, sporozoite rate and molecular characterization the Anopheles stephensi (An. stephensi) in Hormozgan and Sistan-Baluchistan provinces, the mo osft important malarious areas in Iran.
