It is the most studied species complex for its sibling-species composition, distribution and their bionomical characteristics having implications in vector control. It is a highly adaptive and robust mosquito virtually resistant to all available insecticides including pyrethroids in large tracts of mainland India and fast invading new territories thwarting malaria elimination efforts. Control of An. culicifacies is a formidable challenge and containing its spread and transmission of drug-resistant malaria deserves utmost priority. Innovative technologies are warranted for sustained control of this vector species for achieving malaria elimination.Vector surveillance and monitoring insecticide resistance should be the continuing activity for formulating evidence-based and doable intervention strategies for effective vector management. specialized PALUDISME TRANSMISSION VECTEUR INSECTICIDE CHIMIQUE SENSIBILITE RESISTANCE MECANISME DE RESISTANCE ECOETHOLOGIE BIONOMIE INDE 052LUTIN03 052ANOPAL04 Dev V. ed. edt IRD 11-22 New Delhi The National Academy of Sciences 2020 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010080127 978-81-905548-8-6 [F B010080127] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010080127 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers20-10/010080127.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2020-10-21 2020-12-01 fdi:010080127 fre
