  abstract = {{B}ackground: {T}he distribution of anopheline mosquitoes in {V}ietnam was examined, with a particular interest for the two sibling species of the {A}nopheles minimus complex ( {C}ellia: {M}yzomyia), {A}n. minimus and {A}nopheles harrisoni, respectively former species {A} and {C}. {B}ecause the morphological identification of both sibling species is difficult and may lead to misidentifications, accurate data on their respective distribution are missing. {T}his is of fundamental importance since the two species seem to exhibit differential vectorial capacities for malaria transmission. {M}ethods: {L}arge entomological surveys based on cattle collections and molecular identifications of {A}n. minimus s.l. were carried out in 23 sites throughout northern, central and south-eastern regions of {V}ietnam. {R}esults: {B}ased on previous molecular works and our data, the distribution of anopheline species and the relative densities of {A}n. minimus and {A}n. harrisoni were mapped. {I}t is noteworthy that there was a high specific biodiversity at each study site. {A}nopheles minimus s.l. and {A}nopheles sinensis were the main anopheline species in the northern region, whereas {A}nopheles aconitus and {A}nopheles vagus were the most frequent ones in the central region. {T}he southern limit of {A}n. harrisoni was increased to the latitude of 11 degrees {N}. {S}ympatry between both sibling species has been extended to new provinces. {C}onclusion: {M}alaria transmission is still high in central {V}ietnam and along bordering countries. {T}herefore, it is important to know and map the precise distribution of the main and secondary malaria vectors in {V}ietnam for applying efficient vector control programmes. {M}oreover, these maps should be regularly updated and linked to environmental characteristics relative to disease epidemiology, and environmental and climatic changes occurring in southeast {A}sia.},
