  abstract = {{I}n {M}adagascar, {A}nopheles gambiae has been found below altitudes of 1,000 m. {W}e sampled {A}n. gambiae sensu lato (sl) between 2008 and 2010 in the {C}entral {H}ighlands of {M}adagascar at altitudes over 1,200 m. {T}he study site consists of rainforest, rainforest edge, and an open savanna biotope. {A}nopheles gambiae and {A}n. arabiensis, as well as molecular forms of {A}n. gambiae, were identified molecularly. {A}n. gambiae accounted for 26.7% at the edge of the rainforest and 2.3% in the open savanna biotope. {O}ne specimen of this species was caught in the forest. {A}n. arabiensis accounted for 66.3% at the edge of the rainforest and 97.7 % in the open savanna biotope. {A}ll {A}n. gambiae adults tested belonged to the {S} molecular form. {A}n. gambiae is present at high altitudes in {M}adagascar, with a high prevalence at the rainforest edge. {S}everal factors, including the appearance of new favorable biotopes, recolonization after a reduction of indoor vector control, and climate change, may contribute to its distribution. {T}he changing distribution of {A}n. gambiae may have consequences for the distribution and incidence of malaria in the {M}alagasy {H}ighlands.},
