Selective Introgression of Paracentric Inversions Between Two Sibling Species of the Anopheles gambiae Complex
1 May 1997
Abstract excerpt
The Anopheles gambiae complex includes the major vectors of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa where > 80% of all world-wide cases occur. These mosquitoes are characterized by chromosomal inversions associated to the speciation process and to intraspecific ecological and behavioral flexibility. It has been postulated that introgressive hybridization has selectively transferred inversions on the second chromosome...
