Polymorphism at the defensin gene in the Anopheles gambiae complex: testing different selection hypotheses.

Infection, genetics and evolution : journal of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics in infectious diseases - 1 Mar 2007

Simard Frédéric, Licht Monica, Besansky Nora J, Lehmann Tovi

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation in defensin, a gene encoding a major effector molecule of insects immune response was analyzed within and between populations of three members of the Anopheles gambiae complex. The species selected included the two anthropophilic species, An. gambiae and An. arabiensis and the most zoophilic species of the complex, An. quadriannulatus. The first species was represented by four populations...
