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. gambiae, demonstrating that microsatellites do have the power to detect barriers to gene flow in these mosquitoes. However,...
