Evidence for recent population expansion in the evolutionary history of the malaria vectors Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles gambiae.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jul 2001

Donnelly M J, Licht M C, Lehmann T

Abstract excerpt

Gene flow in malaria vectors is usually estimated based on differentiation indices (e.g., F(ST)) in order to predict the contemporary spread of genes such as those conferring resistance to insecticides. This approach is reliant on a number of assumptions, the most crucial, and the one most likely to be violated in these species, being mutation-migration-drift equilibrium. Tests of this assumption for the African...
