主　　题：Anopheles Malaria Distribution GIS Iran 

摘      要：Malaria is a main vector-borne public health problem in *** last studies on Iranian mosquitoes show 31 Anopheles species including different sibling species and genotypes,eight of them are reported to play role in malaria *** objective of this study is to provide a reference for malaria vectors of Iran and to map their spatial and temporal distribution in different climatic *** files of administrative boundaries and climates of Iran were provided by National Cartographic *** on distribution and seasonal activity of malaria vectors were obtained from different sources and a databank in district level was created in Excel 2003, inserted to the shape files and analyzed by ArcGIS 9.2 to provide the *** culicifacies Giles s.l.,Anopheles dthali Patton,Anopheles fluviatilis James s.L,Anopheles maculipennis Meigen s.L,Anopheles sacharovi Favre,Anopheles stephensi IJston,and Anopheles superpictus Grassi have been introduced as primary and secondary malaria vectors and Anopheles puicherrimus Theobald as a suspected vector in *** distribution of anopheline mosquitoes is restricted to April_December in northern Iran,however mosquitoes can be found during the year in southern *** distribution of malaria vectors is different based on species,thus six of them(except for Anopheles maculipennis *** Anopheles sacharovi) are reported from endemic malarious area in southern and southeastern areas of *** climate of this part is usually warm and humid,which makes it favorable for mosquito rearing and malaria *** between climate conditions and vector distribution can help to predict the potential range of activity for each species and preparedness for malaria epidemics.
