Observations on the distribution of the "Anopheles gambiae" complex in Tanzania
Acta tropica, 1986Adult male and female mosquitoes of the Anopheles gambiae group of species from fourteen localities in Tanzania were studied using either chromosomal inversions, enzyme electrophoresis or both techniques. The 6481 specimens analyzed consisted of 64.4% An. gambiae, 33.6% An. arabiensis, and 2.0% An. merus, but no An. quadriannulatus. An. gambiae and An.

Nature, 1962
THE existence of two fresh-water forms (A and B) of Anopheles gambiae Giles which, when crossed, produce sterile F1 males has been established by Davidson and Jackson1. A salt-water tolerant strain of the same species from near Tanga, Tanganyika, has been shown to be partially incompatible with two strains of the group A fresh-water form2,3, while the ...

Pyrethroid‐treated bednet effects on mosquitoes of the Anopheles gambiae complex in The Gambia
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1991Abstract. The response of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes to men sleeping under insecticide‐impregnated or untreated bednets in six verandali trap huts was studied during the dry season in The Gambia.

Distribution and Chromosomal Characterization of the Anopheles gambiae Complex in Angola
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2008Mosquitoes of the Anopheles gambiae complex (N = 1,336) were sampled (2001–2005) across Angola to identify taxa, study inversion polymorphisms, and detect the circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium falciparum. Anopheles gambiae s.s. was found in all sites; it was characterized as M-form in localities of the tropical dry and semi-desertic belts, whereas

Anopheles gambiae complex and disease transmission in Africa
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1974Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes are present throughout tropical Africa and its offshore islands. Recent work has shown that at least 6 cryptic or “sibling” species are involved. They comprise 2 salt-water species, A. melas and A. merus, 3 freshwater species—provisionally known as species A, B, and C, and a mineralwater species known as species D ...

Reconstructing an Inversion History in the Anopheles Gambiae Complex
2007The phylogenetic relationships among the members of species complexes can be inferred from the distribution of fixed inversions if outgroup arrangements are known. The Anopheles gambiae complex consists of seven African mosquito species that can be differentiated based on ten fixed inversions.

The Anopheles gambiae complex: a new species from Ethiopia
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1998Historically, members of the Anopheles gambiae complex from Ethiopia have been identified chromosomally as either A. arabiensis or A. quadriannulatus. Recent collections from the Jimma area in Ethiopia, southwest of Addis Ababa, revealed 29 specimens of A.

Cannibalism and predation among larvae of the Anopheles gambiae complex
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2003Abstract. Among the aquatic developmental stages of the Anopheles gambiae complex (Diptera: Culicidae), both inter‐ and intra‐specific interactions influence the resulting densities of adult mosquito populations.

Reconstructing Ancestral Autosomal Arrangements in the Anopheles gambiae Complex
Journal of Computational Biology, 2008Members of the Anopheles gambiae complex have remarkably distinct ecological adaptations, behaviors, and degrees of vectorial capacity. Inferring phylogenetic relationships in the complex is crucial for identifying the genomic changes associated with the origin and loss of epidemiologically important traits.

A Polytene Chromosome Analysis of the Anopheles gambiae Species Complex
Science, 2002Field-collected specimens of all known taxa in the Anopheles gambiae complex were analyzed on the basis of chromosome inversions with reference to a standard polytene chromosome map. The phylogenetic relationships among the seven described species in the complex could be inferred from the distribution of fixed ...
