Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Landscape features such as the Rift Valley (RV) can restrict gene flow in malaria vectors and influence resistance patterns. Here, we assessed Plasmodium infection rates, resistance alleles and profiles in Anopheles funestus s.s. populations across Kenyan malaria-endemic regions separated by the RV. METHODS: Anopheles funestus s.s. populations in western, coastal and Kerio Valley (KV, within the RV)...
