  1. The An. gambiae genus-specific salivary proteins indicated on the top were compared to orthologues from malaria vectors in the different continents: Africa (An. arabiensis, An. funestus), Asia (An. stephensi, An. culicifacies, An. maculatus, An. dirus and An. sinensis), Oceania (An. farauti), Europe (An. atroparvus), South and Central America (An. albimanus, An. darlingi). Mature proteins were used for the comparison. Numbers indicate percent of identity or its range when multiple vectors from the same continent were available. Abs, gene not present; nf, gene not found but possibly present or not full-length. The three anopheline-specific salivary proteins more conserved among malaria vectors worldwide are highlighted in bold
