Anopheles darlingi, the American malaria mosquito, is a species of mosquito in the family Culicidae.[1][2] A. darlingi is one of the major species of mosquito known to be responsible for malaria in the Amazonian regions.[3][4][5] It has a wide range of geographic distribution that stretches from Mexico and Argentina but it has also been found to populate in areas affected by deforestation and environment changes due to humans.[6]
