Molecular population genetics of the malaria vector Anopheles darlingi in Central and South America
Article Abstract:
A minimum spanning network, diversity measures, differentiation, neutrality tests and mismatch distribution with mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences were used to analyze the genetic relatedness and phylogeographic structure of Anopheles darlingi in Central and South America. More ancestral and diverse haplotypes were found in Amazonian and southern Brazil populations suggesting that Central American populations would have originated in South America.

Populations of the south-west Pacific malaria vector Anopheles farauti S.S. revealed by ribosomal DNA transcribed spacer polymorphisms
Article Abstract:
The southwest Pacific malaria vector Anopheles farauti S.S., a mosquito, have been studied using ribosomal DNA transcribed spacer polymorphisms to look at populations. Five genotypes were found to have distinct geographical distributions. Different levels of evolution seem to occur within two regions. Where there is distribution overlap genotype hybrids are seen.

An island within an island: genetic differentiation of Anopheles gambiae in Sao Tome, West Africa, and its relevance to malaria vector control
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on malaria vector Anopheles gambiae s.s. The authors have investigated genetic variation at microsatellite loci of A. gambiae, and the results suggest that the population substructure patterns are the results of the gene flow restrictions.
