Traditionally field and laboratory research about malaria vectors in Europe have been mainly focused on the species of the Anopheles maculipennis complex. However, although malaria is essentially a rural disease, potential urban vectors merit attention. Because only a few European Anopheles species can breed in urban environments, improving knowledge about their bioecology is necessary to implement effective control measures. Among these opportunistic species, Anopheles plumbeus has a distinctive dendrolimnic behavior, being able to complete its larval development in small containers. The aim of this paper is to provide a thorough review of the limited studies on An. plumbeus with the aim of providing useful epidemiological information.
