Abstract
Following the ongoing inventory efforts conducted in Cambodia by the Medical and Veterinary Unit of the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge, and after intensive collection work in the eastern part of the country, we report 20 new mosquito species from Cambodia. Among these new records, none are considered to be of medical importance. Along with these new records, and incorporating 2 recently described species, we provide an updated checklist of the Culicidae fauna of Cambodia, which now includes 312 species, 43 of which are known to be of medical importance and are involved in the transmission of pathogens.
期刊介绍:
Parasite is an international open-access, peer-reviewed, online journal publishing high quality papers on all aspects of human and animal parasitology. Reviews, articles and short notes may be submitted. Fields include, but are not limited to: general, medical and veterinary parasitology; morphology, including ultrastructure; parasite systematics, including entomology, acarology, helminthology and protistology, and molecular analyses; molecular biology and biochemistry; immunology of parasitic diseases; host-parasite relationships; ecology and life history of parasites; epidemiology; therapeutics; new diagnostic tools.
All papers in Parasite are published in English. Manuscripts should have a broad interest and must not have been published or submitted elsewhere. No limit is imposed on the length of manuscripts, but they should be concisely written. Papers of limited interest such as case reports, epidemiological studies in punctual areas, isolated new geographical records, and systematic descriptions of single species will generally not be accepted, but might be considered if the authors succeed in demonstrating their interest.
