Abstract
This study was initiated in order to determine the identities and
distribution patterns of the anopheline fauna, more especially the malaria vectors,
in regions of Botswana prone to malaria epidemics. Field samples collected from
Shakawe, Maun and Kasane over three consecutive years were subjected to
morphological, cytogenetic, isoenzyme and PCR analyses. The results established
that Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus were the predominant vector
species.
