A reliminary attempt has been made to assess the potential morphological (wing) as well as molecular variation of Anopheles subpictus by using ITS-2 sequence primer. A considerable sequence variation is observed between the rural and urban population of West Bengal. %K An. subpictus %K Population load %K Wing Variation %K ITS-2 sequence %U http://www.entomoljournal.com/vol1Issue2/Issue_april_2013/4.1.pdf
