Anopheles sinensis is a species of mosquito that transmits malaria as well as lymphatic filariasis. It is regarded as the most important vector of these human parasitic diseases in Southeast Asia.[1][2] It is the primary vector of vivax malaria (Plasmodium vivax) in many regions. In China it also transmits the filalarial parasite (Wuchereria bancrofti),[3] and arthropod roundworm (Romanomermis jingdeensis).[4] In Japan it is also a vector of a roundworm Setaria digitata in sheep and goats.[5][6]
Because of its similarity with other Anopheles, it is now considered a species complex comprising at least four species. Its genome was sequenced in 2014.[7]
