Population genetic structure of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> in the two main African vectors, <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> and <i>Anopheles funestus</i>
30 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
We investigated patterns of genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum associated with its two main African vectors: Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles funestus. We dissected 10,296 wild-caught mosquitoes from three tropical sites, two in Cameroon (Simbock and Tibati, separated by 320 km) and one in Kenya (Rota, >2,000 km from the other two sites). We assayed seven microsatellite loci in 746 oocysts from 183...
