ABSTRACT The two most efficient and most recently radiated Afrotropical vectors of human malaria – Anopheles coluzzii and An. gambiae – are identified by single-locus diagnostic PCR assays based on species-specific markers in a 4 Mb region on chromosome-X centromere. Inherently, these diagnostic assays cannot detect interspecific autosomal admixture shown to be extensive at the westernmost and easternmost extremes of […]
