Aspectos atuais da distribuição geográfica de Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii Dyar & Knab, 1908 no estado do Espírito Santo, Brasil

Anopheles cruzii was registered in Espírito Santo state both in 1957 and 1968. Our study provides additional evidence of its presence, including municipalities that were non mentioned before. Anopheles captures undertaken between 1998 and 2003 pointed out a distribution restricted to the forested outskirts of the mountains in the highland area of the state. Its epidemiological role is suggested by the simultaneous presence of malaria cases in the same municipalities.
