The recent literature on cytogenetic and molecular studies of Anopheles funestus, a major
vector of malaria in Africa, is reviewed. Molecular data from West and Central Africa suggest …

Anopheles funestus Giles, 1900 is considered one of the most proficient malaria vectors
worldwide [1]. It thrives in a wide range of habitats through the Afrotropical Region. Largely …

Even before the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species, the perception of evolutionary
change has been a tree-like pattern of diversification-with divergent branches spreading …

Previous efforts to uncover the genetic underpinnings of ongoing ecological speciation of
the M and S forms of the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae revealed two …

Advances in genomics have led to an appreciation that introgression is common, but its
evolutionary consequences are poorly understood. In recent species radiations the sharing …

In tropical Africa, Anopheles funestus is one of the three most important malaria vectors. We
physically mapped 157 A. funestus complementary DNAs (cDNAs) to the polytene …

Metabolic resistance to pyrethroids is a menace to the continued effectiveness of malaria
vector controls. Its molecular basis is complex and varies geographically across Africa. Here …

Human malaria is truly a disease of global proportions and is one of the most broadly
distributed vector-borne infections. Anopheline mosquitoes are the exclusive vectors of …

Background Heterochromatin plays an important role in chromosome function and gene
regulation. Despite the availability of polytene chromosomes and genome sequence, the …

Cytogenetic and physical maps are indispensible for precise assembly of genome
sequences, functional characterization of chromosomal regions, and population genetic and …
