Background As indicators of burden of malaria have substantially decreased in The Gambia,
reaching a pre-elimination status may be attainable. Achieving this goal requires in-depth …

Understanding how divergent selection generates adaptive phenotypic and population
diversification provides a mechanistic explanation of speciation in recently separated …

Although many theoretical models of sympatric speciation propose that genes responsible
for assortative mating amongst incipient species should be associated with genomic regions …

The success of vector control strategies aiming to decrease disease transmission via the
release of sterile or genetically-modified male mosquitoes critically depends on mating …

“Far-West” Africa is known to be a secondary contact zone between the two major malaria
vectors Anopheles coluzzii and A. gambiae. We investigated gene-flow and potentially …

Background Anopheles gambiae ss and An. coluzzii are two of the most important malaria
vector species in sub-Saharan Africa. These recently-diverged sibling species do not exhibit …

Members of the Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (Giles) complex define a group of seven
morphologically indistinguishable species, including the principal malaria vectors in Sub …

Abstract Background Genomic differentiation between Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles
coluzzii-the major malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa-is localized into large “islands” …

Anopheles gambiae ss is the most efficient malaria vector in Africa, particularly in sub-
Sahara African countries. An. gambiae ss is composed of two sibling species differentiated …

The Afrotropical Anopheles gambiae complex includes the most efficient malaria vector
species worldwide. Historically considered a single variable and opportunistic species …
