Stable Chromosomal Inversion Polymorphisms and Insecticide Resistance in the Malaria Vector MosquitoAnopheles gambiae(Diptera: Culicidae)
1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Anopheles gambiae Giles has been implicated as a major vector of malaria in Africa. A number of paracentric chromosomal inversions have been observed as polymorphisms in wild and laboratory populations of this species. These polymorphisms have been used to demonstrate the existence of five reproductive units in West African populations that are currently described as incipient species. They have also been...
