title: Identification by rDNA-PCR of Anopheles bwambae, a geothermal spring species of the An. gambiae complex.
abstract: The identification of the malaria vector Anopheles bwambae by rDNA-PCR is described. PCR primers that amplify a region of the intergenic spacer of rDNA of An. gambiae s.s. produce two diagnostic PCR products of 690 bp and 390 bp with An. bwambae.
