Abstract: A systematic survey was conducted to know the seasonal abundance as well as morphological variation in Anopheles mosquito from Dec2013-Nov2014 in Mogra in Hooghly district West Bengal. Morphological variation and molecular characterization of An. subpictus and An. vagus have been studied in that above mentioned areas. It has been observed they are closely related on the basis of GC content, repeat sequence and restriction sites but the inter- specific variation in ITS2 length is well marked between An.subpictus and An.vagus.
