TL;DR
Climate modelling shows that global warming will enlarge the potential range of the main vector, Anopheles farauti sensu stricto, and by the year 2030 it could extend along the Queensland coast to Gladstone, 800 km south of its present limit.
Abstract
Although endemic malaria was eradicated from Australia by 1981, the vectors remain and transmission from imported cases still occurs. Climate modelling shows that global warming will enlarge the potential range of the main vector, Anopheles farauti sensu stricto; by the year 2030 it could extend along the Queensland coast to Gladstone, 800 km south of its present limit. Vigilance and a dispassionate assessment of risk are needed to meet this challenge.

Four species within the Anopheles punctulatus group of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) were identified by allozyme analysis of samples collected from localities in the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu using their isoenzyme characteristics.

The prospects of climatic warming, urbanization and vegetation changes have the potential to materially affect global patterns of vector-borne diseases and research needs are identified and response strategies are suggested in the context of the ever-increasing impact of human populations and industrial activity on the environment.

The progeny of 150 females of the A. punctulatus complex, collected in Northern Australia, the Territory of Papua and New Guinea and the British Solomon Islands Protectorate were studied and cross-matings showed that these Anopheles belonged to 4 species: A. koliensis and 2 species which were previously recognized as A. farauti and now provisionally designated A.farauti No. 2.

A hitherto unrecognized mosquito species, Anopheles farauti No. 3 has been found in Australia and it is found that this species occurs in sympatry with both A. farautI No. 1 and A.Farauti Nos. 2 but there is no evidence of introgression.

The distribution of members of the Anopheles farauti complex was studied in the Northern Territory of Australia during 3 surveys conducted in 1988, 1989, and 1990 and the distribution of the 3 sibling species is discussed with regard to the possibility of malaria transmission.
