Abstract
Summary In general, it seems that A. albimanus might be more zoophilic than anthropophilic, more exophagic than endophagic, more exophilic than endophilic, not particularly long-lived, and infrequently found harboring malaria parasites. Yet, this species is considered to have been responsible for the annual transmission of malaria to thousands of people in El Salvador. This might be due to overwhelming numbers, to the existence of extremely effective “strains” or to a combination of reasons not easily understood.Keywords
