Abstract
Renewed interest in research on Plasmodium vectors in Africa and development of genetic and molecular biology techniques has been spearheaded by the WHO and the PAL+ program of the French research ministry. New findings have led to a better understanding of the systematics and biology of the main vector groups. The purpose of this article is to describe the newest data on the Anopheles gambiae complex and the M and S forms of An. gambiae s.S., on species in the An. funestus group and genetic polymorphism of An. funestus, on the two probable species in the An. moucheti complex, and on An. mascurenesis.
