Complete mtDNA genomes of Anopheles darlingi and an approach to anopheline dive...
Moreno, Marta; Marinotti, Osvaldo; Krzywinski, Jaroslaw; Tadei, Wanderli Pedro; James, Anthony Amade A.; Acheé, Nicole L.; Conn, Jan E.Background: The complete sequences of the mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of members of the northern and southern genotypes of Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) darlingi were used for comparative studies to estimate the time to the most recent common ancestor for modern anophelines, to evaluate differentiation within this taxon, and to seek evidence of incipient speciation. Methods. The mtDNAs were sequenced from mosquit...
Microsatellite data suggest significant population structure and differentiatio...
Mirabello, Lisa; Vineis, Joseph H.; Yanoviak, Stephen P.; Scarpassa, Vera Margarete; Pôvoa, Marinete Marins; Padilla, Norma R.; Acheé, Nicole L.Background. Anopheles darlingi is the most important malaria vector in the Neotropics. An understanding of A. darlingi's population structure and contemporary gene flow patterns is necessary if vector populations are to be successfully controlled. We assessed population genetic structure and levels of differentiation based on 1,376 samples from 31 localities throughout the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon and Cent...
