Abstract
Rabbit antisera were raised to the malaria vector Anopheles tessellatus, head–thorax, abdomen, and midgut preparations. Reactivity of the antisera with An. tessellatus and the filariasis vector, Culex quinquefasciatus, were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blots. Although many antigens were shared between the two species of mosquitoes, tissue- and species-specific antigens also were identified.Keywords
