Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Culex quinquefasciatus collected in Uganda, where no vector control interventions directly targeting this species have been conducted, was used as a model to determine if it is possible to detect heterogeneities in selection pressure driven by insecticide application targeting other insect species. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Population genetic structure was assessed through microsatellite...
