    Author: Fontenille D, Jupp PG.
    Journal: Arch Inst Pasteur Madagascar; 1989; 56(1):287-95. PubMed ID: 2633711.
    Abstract:
    A study was made of 25 male and 43 female mosquitoes belonging to the Culex (Culex) univittatus group, from different localities in Madagascar, Indian Ocean. This showed that Culex neavei Theobald, 1906 is present on the island, at least in the Tsiroanomandidy region. As demonstrated previously, Cx. univitatus Theobald, 1901 is also present. Because of the presence of some atypical forms, firm identifications was made only in males according to the structure of the leaflet of the sub-apical lobe of the gonocoxite. The relevance of the presence of Cx. neavei to the epidemiology of West Nile and Babanki viruses in Madagascar is discussed.
