Effective population size in relation to genetic modification of Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto
Effective population size (Ne) is a single number which allows us to relate a large part of population-genetics theory built around ideal populations to real populations. In the case of Anopheles gambiae, Ne is important to interpreting the temporal and spatial distribution of genes. These patterns are in turn used to explore the structure of (typically non-ideal) natural populations. We discus...
متن کاملAnopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis population densities and infectivity in Kopere village, Western Kenya.
INTRODUCTION This study was conducted in a sugar belt region of western Kenya interfacing epidemic and endemic malaria transmission. We investigated Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (ss) and Anopheles arabiensis species compositions and densities, human host choice, and infectivity. METHODOLOGY Mosquitoes were captured using pyrethrum spray catch technique and first identified based on morphol...
متن کاملLarge fluctuations in the effective population size of the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae s.s. during vector control cycle
On Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, indoor residual spraying (IRS) has been part of the Bioko Island Malaria Control Project since early 2004. Despite success in reducing childhood infections, areas of high transmission remain on the island. We therefore examined fluctuations in the effective population size (N e ) of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae in an area of persistent high transmissi...
متن کاملGenetic Structure of a Local Population of the Anopheles gambiae Complex in Burkina Faso
Members of the Anopheles gambiae species complex are primary vectors of human malaria in Africa. Population heterogeneities for ecological and behavioral attributes expand and stabilize malaria transmission over space and time, and populations may change in response to vector control, urbanization and other factors. There is a need for approaches to comprehensively describe the structure and ch...
متن کاملBacterial associations reveal spatial population dynamics in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes
The intolerable burden of malaria has for too long plagued humanity and the prospect of eradicating malaria is an optimistic, but reachable, target in the 21(st) century. However, extensive knowledge is needed about the spatial structure of mosquito populations in order to develop effective interventions against malaria transmission. We hypothesized that the microbiota associated with a mosquit...
