However, due to consistent introductions of travel-associated malaria cases and the presence of several native Anopheles species (Diptera: Culicidae) that are competent vectors of malaria, the potential for local (autochthonous) malaria transmission remains a persistent threat in the United States. While several intermittent cases of local malaria transmission have occurred in the United States in the decades since elimination, the emergence of autochthonous transmission in 4 states in 2023 demonstrates the continued risk for future outbreaks. Moreover, these recent examples also highlight significant gaps in current mosquito surveillance efforts that have predominantly focused on threats of arboviral disease, such that our understanding of Anopheles distributions relies only on historical records and offers limited insight into the ecological factors that influence their abundance. Herein, we summarize mosquito surveillance data collected over the last 20 years (2004\u20132023) across 59 Iowa counties to provide essential information into the spatial distribution, temporal abundance, and trap preferences of Anopheles species in the state. Further analyses of the 2 most abundant species, Anopheles punctipennis Say and Anopheles quadrimaculatus Say, reveal the additional influence of precipitation and forested habitats in defining An. punctipennis abundance. Together, we believe these results provide an increased understanding of previously neglected Anopheles species that have the potential for autochthonous malaria transmission in Iowa and that can be extended to other regions of the United States to enhance preparedness for future malaria outbreaks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjae098","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,19]],"date-time":"2024-08-19T11:26:35Z","timestamp":1724066795000},"page":"1391-1398","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Abundance, distribution, and dynamics of <i>Anopheles<\/i> species (Diptera: Culicidae) in Iowa, United States"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"Christopher H","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Pathology, Entomology and Microbiology, Iowa State University , Ames, Iowa ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Leonard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Pathology, Entomology and Microbiology, Iowa State University , Ames, Iowa ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0245-2265","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryan C","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Pathology, Entomology and Microbiology, Iowa State University , Ames, Iowa ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"2024111417181412300_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"758","DOI":"10.3390\/insects13090758","article-title":"Relative influence of land use, mosquito abundance, and bird communities in defining West Nile virus infection rates in Culex mosquito populations","volume":"13","author":"Adelman","year":"2022","journal-title":"Insects"},{"issue":"41","key":"2024111417181412300_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2487","DOI":"10.2307\/4578528","article-title":"The susceptibility to malaria parasites and the relation to the transmission of malaria of the species of Anopheles common in southern United States","volume":"42","author":"Barber","year":"1927","journal-title":"Public Health Rep"},{"issue":"36","key":"2024111417181412300_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"973","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.mm7236a1","article-title":"Outbreak of locally acquired mosquito-transmitted (autochthonous) malaria \u2014 Florida and Texas, May\u2013July 2023","volume":"72","author":"Blackburn","year":"2023","journal-title":"MMWR Morb.
