For malaria, there is good chemoprophylaxis but some Plasmodium spp. and Clinical Immunology. A mosquito possesses two wings, which are immaculate or sometimes with brownish spots, long and fragile legs, and a body that is brown to black in color, sometimes with white stripes (on thorax or legs) and a characteristic long proboscis (mouthparts). The only effective vaccine currently available against mosquito-borne diseases is yellow fever vaccine. The subfamily Pangoniinae is regarded as ancestral, containing fascinating but poorly known genera such as Stonemyia and Goniops, many of which are not known to feed on blood. It is important to control larval instars because they are confined in water and it is easier at this stage to combat them with a biocide such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bti). = "short antennae" includes larger flies with images & underlined links to view: Most adult "horseflies" are bloodsuckers,
