title: [Detection of Anopheles artemievi (Diptera, Culicidae) in Uzbekistan].
abstract: An. artemievi was diagnosed by morphological and molecular genetic analyses in the Fergana valley, Uzbekistan, in 2008-2009. Four species of the genus Anopheles: An. superpictus, An. artemievi, An. hyrcanus, and An. claviger inhabiting the irrigated oases with the bulk of population were detected in the Fergana valley. An. artemievi and An. superpictus were prevalent in the foci of malaria. An. artemievi larvae inhabited the rice fields, springs, collection-drainage systems, and water reservoirs enriched in oxygen. The most attractive day's rest for mosquitoes was a cattle house where their bulk (on average 41.8%) was present. Next was cattle sheds, with the mosquitoes averaging 26.4%. An. artemievi, attacked human beings in the field conditions. This species showed a high susceptibility to test insecticides, such as propoxur, cipermethrin, deltamethrin, and lambda-Cyhalothrin.
