Daftar Isi:
- Malaria is caused by protozoa from the genus of Plasmodium which transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes. There are 90 species of Anopheles in Indonesia, included Anopheles vagus which is suspected as malaria vector. This article was a review of several studies related to An. vagus conducted in Central Sulawesi in which descriptively present the behavior of An. vagus and its potential as malaria vector in Central Sulawesi. The results showed that the habitats of An. vagus larvae were irrigations, the edge of rivers, swamps, ponds, and tire tracks. An. vagus was a dominant species in biting human compared to other Anopheles species. The Plasmodium sporozoite was also found in An. vagus, which show the possibility of An. vagus as vector of malaria. The vectorial capacity need to examine further in order to know the porosity and human blood index of An. vagus.
