The Anopheles latens mosquito (part of the A. leucosphyrus group)^[1] is an important vector for the transmission of malaria in humans and monkeys in Southeast Asia.^[2] It is an important vector for the transmission of human malaria in Sarawak; but because it is attracted to both humans and to macaques it is also responsible for the transmission of simian malarias to humans (Plasmodium knowlesi^[3] and possibly P. inui^[2] as well).
