Anopheles kochi in Irian Jaya detected by size polymorphism of polymerase chain reaction-amplified internal transcribed spacer unit 2.
Anopheles kochi is reported for the 1st time from New Guinea, probably introduced by aircraft. This Oriental species was originally detected by analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified rDNA internal transcribed spacer unit 2 (ITS-2). Identification was confirmed by morphologic examination. Size of ITS-2 is presented for 32 species of Australasian and Oriental anophelines to assist morphologic identifications for distribution and vector studies.
