New mosquito that evades malaria control measures is 'impossible' to kill off | Mail Online: "A new type of mosquito discovered in Africa could further complicate the fight to control malaria, according to scientists.
French researchers collecting mosquitoes from ponds near villages in Burkina Faso, West Africa, say they have identified a subtype of the Anopheles gambiae unlike any documented before.
The mosquito is highly susceptible to infection with the malaria parasite, likes to rest outside, not indoors, and can therefore evade most current control measures."
