Role of Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes in malaria outbreak, Djibouti, 2019

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 27, No. 6, Year 2021

Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes share urban breeding sites with Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in the Republic of Djibouti. We present evidence that A. stephensi mosquitoes might be responsible for an increase in malaria incidence in this country. We also document resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to dihydroartemisinin/piperaquine.
