Analyzing mosquito (Diptera: culicidae) diversity in Pakistan by DNA barcoding.
Although they are important disease vectors mosquito biodiversity in Pakistan is poorly known. Recent epidemics of dengue fever have revealed the need for more detailed understanding of the diversity and distributions of mosquito species in this region. DNA barcoding improves the accuracy of mosquit...
