The use of microsatellites to study gene flow in natural populations of Anopheles malaria vectors in Africa: potential and pitfalls.

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association - 1 Sept 1998

Walton C, Thelwell N J, Priestman A, Butlin R K

Abstract excerpt

The potential of microsatellites as population genetic markers in the malarial vectors Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis was assessed using 4 loci. Substantial genetic divergence was found not only between these species but also between the Mopti and Forest chromosomal forms of An. gambi...
