Molecular characterization of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae s.s. in Madagascar
Medical and Veterinary Entomology 20 (2), 259-260
Abstract: Anopheles gambiae s.s. Giles (Diptera: Culicidae), the primary African malaria vector, has been characterized at the subspecies level in Madagascar, where only the molecular form S and haplotype gIA occur. The haplotype gIC proposed by other authors was not observed amongst the 35 mosquito genomes sequenced. These S/gIA characteristics are also found on the Comoros archipelago and in continental Africa.
