Dispersion routes of the main vectors of human malaria in the Americas: Genetic evidence from the mitochondrial COI gene.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In America, of the 44 species of Anopheles, nine are main vectors of malaria and, of these, genetic information exists for seven. Hence, this study sought to know the gene flow and diversity of the seven principal vectors of malaria at the Americas level. METHODS: For the seven species and the sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene obtained from the GenBank and...
