Abstract

Detection of Plasmodium sporozoites-carrying mosquitoes is an important indicator in monitoring mosquitoes, evaluating the control of malaria and forecasting the incidence of malaria. Here, we review the detection techniques in Plasmodium sporozoites-carrying mosquitoes and the progress of their applied research, and then briefly discuss the principles of the detection and the prospects for the field.
