High genetic differentiation between the M and S molecular forms of Anopheles gambiae in Africa.
<h4>Background</h4>Anopheles gambiae, a major vector of malaria, is widely distributed throughout sub-Saharan Africa. In an attempt to eliminate infective mosquitoes, researchers are trying to develop transgenic strains that are refractory to the Plasmodium parasite. Before any release o...
