Population genomic evidence of a putative ‘far-west’ African cryptic taxon in the Anopheles gambiae complex
10 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
The two main Afrotropical malaria vectors - Anopheles coluzzii and An. gambiae – are genetically distinct and reproductively isolated across West Africa. However, populations at the western extreme of their range are assigned as “intermediate” between the two species by whole genome sequence (WGS) data, and as hybrid forms by conventional molecular diagnostics. By exploiting WGS data from 1190 specimens collected...
