Microsatellite DNA polymorphism and heterozygosity in the malaria vector mosquito <em>Anopheles funestus</em> (Diptera: Culicidae) in east and... (Publications)
There has been an increase in malaria cases in southern African countries in recent years due to the presence of populations of Anopheles funestus that are resistant to the pyrethroid class of insecticides [...] insecticides. Since A. funestus is one of the major African malaria vectors, knowledge of its genetic structure will benefit control strategies, such as the management of insecticide resistance, by allowing
Dynamics of gene introgression in the African malaria vector <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> (Publications)
Anopheles gambiae is a major malaria vector in Africa and a popular model species for a variety of ecological, evolutionary, and genetic studies on vector control. Genetic manipulation of mosquito vectorial [...] vectorial capacity is a promising new weapon for the control of malaria. However, the release of exotic transgenic mosquitoes will bring in novel alleles in addition to the parasite-inhibiting genes, which
Amplified fragment length polymorphism mapping of quantitative trait loci for malaria parasite susceptibility in the yellow fever mosquito <em>Aedes... (Publications)
The yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti has been the subject of extensive genetic research due to its medical importance and the ease with which it can be manipulated in the laboratory. A molecular ge
