Anopheles gambiae
Mosquitoes in the genus Anopheles commonly spread Plasmodium, the parasite that causes malaria. (Anopheles gambiae shown here.) Researchers at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, tested a technique called the forced oviposition method to produce enough mosquito offspring from wild-caught female Anopheles mosquitos to test for insecticide resistance.
