Inversion 2La is associated with enhanced desiccation resistance in Anopheles gambiae.

Malaria journal - 21 Sept 2009

Gray Emilie M, Rocca Kyle A C, Costantini Carlo, Besansky Nora J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Anopheles gambiae, the principal vector of malignant malaria in Africa, occupies a wide range of habitats. Environmental flexibility may be conferred by a number of chromosomal inversions non-randomly associated with aridity, including 2La. The purpose of this study was to determine the physiological mechanisms associated with the 2La inversion that may result in the preferential survival of its...
