This paper challenges recent claims that mosquito subfamilies are not monophyletic by presenting evidence supporting two monophyletic subfamilies and an ancient divergence.

The paper uses phylogenomic analysis to show that anthropophily in Southeast Asian Anopheles mosquitoes evolved in response to early hominin arrival in Sundaland around 1.8 million years ago.

The paper identifies pathogens in high-altitude windborne mosquitoes, showing they are infectious and capable of spreading diseases over long distances.
