title: Vector incrimination in Tamulpur primary health centre, district Nalbari, lower Assam during malaria outbreak 1995.
abstract: A widespread outbreak of malaria occurred in different districts of lower Assam in April, 1995. Entomological investigations were carried out in Primary Health Centre Tamulpur, the worst hit area of Nalbari district. Of the nine anopheline species collected, Anopheles minimus was incriminated as the malaria vector with sporozoite rate of 6.5 per cent. The slow moving streamlets were identified as the sole breeding places of An. minimus.
