Water source most suitable for rearing a sensitive malaria vector, Anopheles funestus in the laboratory
Background: The insecticide susceptibility status of Anopheles funestus, one of the main malaria vectors in the Afrotropical regions, remains under-studied due to the difficulty of working with this mosquito species. Collecting their larvae in natural breeding sites, rearing and maintaining them in normal laboratory conditions have been a difficult task. Forced-egg laying technique has been a ...

متن کاملA new species concealed by Anopheles funestus Giles, a major malaria vector in Africa.
The major malaria vector Anopheles funestus belongs to a group of morphologically similar species that are commonly distinguished from one another through the use of chromosomal and molecular techniques. Indoor resting collections of mosquitoes from Malawi were initially identified as An. funestus by morphology, but failed to have this confirmed by the species-specific polymerase chain reaction...
متن کاملAn integrated genetic and physical map for the malaria vector Anopheles funestus.
We have constructed a genetic map of the major African malaria vector, Anopheles funestus, using genetic markers segregating in F(2) progeny from crosses between two strains colonized from different field sites. Genotyping was performed on 174 progeny from three families using 33 microsatellite markers, a single RFLP, and 15 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci. Four linkage groups were re...
متن کاملPopulation structure of the malaria vector Anopheles funestus in Senegal based on microsatellite and cytogenetic data.
The study of chromosomal inversions distribution within natural Anopheles funestus populations from West Africa revealed high levels of genetic structuring. In Burkina Faso, this was interpreted as evidence for incipient speciation, and two chromosomal forms were described, namely 'Folonzo' and 'Kiribina'. Assignation of field collected specimens to one chromosomal form depends upon application...
