DOI 10.52707/1081-1710-49.1.90
Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A species composition analysis of regions of Kazakhstan was carried out by examining the genetic diversity of the blood-feeding mosquito species Anopheles maculipennis complex in the northern and western regions of Kazakhstan. Mosquitoes of the species Anopheles maculipennis complex are of significant interest due to their role as vectors of malaria and other vector-borne diseases. A comprehensive genetic analysis was conducted using molecular markers. It revealed notable genetic variations within mosquito populations in some Kazakhstan regions, shedding light on the potential implications for malaria control efforts and providing valuable insights for future research in the field of vector biology and disease epidemiology.
