Anopheles stephensi is a human malaria vector species originating in South East Asia and parts of the Arabian peninsula but is now increasingly detected in Africa.
These specimens were collected by researchers in Pakistan and genotyped by researchers from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine generating whole-genome sequence data which can be used to survey genetic diversity, population structure and evolution of An. stephensi, and to establish a foundation for ongoing genomic surveillance of An. stephensi populations.
This study contributes to a new dataset of An. stephensi individuals from ten countries.
