Molecular differentiation between chromosomally defined incipient species of <i>Anopheles funestus</i>

Abstract excerpt

Anopheles funestus Giles is one of the most important vectors of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. The population structure of this mosquito in Burkina Faso, West Africa based on chromosomal inversion data led to the description of two chromosomal forms, Kiribina and Folonzo. Because both forms co-occur in the same locales yet differ significantly, both in the frequency of inverted arrangements on chromosome arms 3R...
