Centres for Disease Control and Prevention
"There are approximately 3,500 species of mosquitoes grouped into 41 genera. Human malaria is transmitted only by females of the genus Anopheles. Of the approximately 430 Anopheles species, only 30-40 transmit malaria (i.e., are "vectors") in nature."

So out of 3,500 species Donuel is talking about targeting 2 of them.
