This paper aims at outlining the bionomic of Anopheles vagus as suspected vector of malaria. The methods of writing using the literature searches, reviewing books, articles and scientific journals. The results showed that Anopheles vagus collected from Sumba confirmed positive of Plasmodium vivax using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).
