Description

As part of the HumBug project and building on the existing MAP occurrence data for An. stephensi (Sinka et al (https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-3305-4-89)) using the MAP data abstraction protocol (Hay et al (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1000209), additional searches of the published literature (PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus) were conducted, extending the occurrence data from 2010 to 2016 and where possible, disaggregated sibling species data from the existing data across the full time period (1985 –2016). Only those records with reliable reported identification methods (i.e. molecular methods distinguishing siblings) were included.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

An updated database of An. stephensi occurrence ranging from 1985 to 2019.

Sampling

As part of the HumBug project and building on the existing MAP occurrence data for An. stephensi (Sinka et al (https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-3305-4-89)) using the MAP data abstraction protocol (Hay et al (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1000209), additional searches of the published literature (PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus) were conducted, extending the occurrence data from 2010 to 2016 and where possible, disaggregated sibling species data from the existing data across the full time period (1985 –2016). Only those records with reliable reported identification methods (i.e. molecular methods distinguishing siblings) were included.

Method steps

A two year data collation process was conducted as part of the HumBug Project to build on the existing MAP database of global occurrence data for the Asian DVS of human malaria. Using the MAP data abstraction protocol: HumBug, http://humbug.ac.uk/. (Hay et al (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1000209)
