Abstract excerpt
Anopheles gambiae and An. arabiensis are major malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa. Knowledge of how geographical factors drive the dispersal and gene flow of malaria vectors can help in combatting insecticide resistance spread and planning new vector control interventions. Here, we used a landscape genetics approach to investigate population relatedness and genetic connectivity of An. gambiae and An....
