BUENO MARI, Rubén  e  GARCIA ANGLES, Andreu. Anophelism in representative wetlands of Teruel province (Northern Spain). Bol Mal Salud Amb [online]. 2016, vol.56, n.2, pp.239-243. ISSN 1690-4648.

Malaria receptivity of a formerendemic disease area in the past in Spain (Teruel Province) has been analyzed. The most representative wetlands in the study area were sampled between June and October 2014 to deep into the knowledge of anopheline vector species present. A total of 5 species of Anopheles were collected. Among these mosquitoes, some species are efficient malaria transmitters like Anopheles atroparvus or Anopheles claviger. Another capable vector, Anopheles plumbeus, was also identified forf irst time in the province of Teruel. Although the eco-epidemiological context of malaria in Spain makes it unlikely the disease resurgence, diversity and density of vectors incertain territories should for ceto maintain entomological surveillances y stems to minimize possible health complications.
