Ecology And Population Genetics Of The Malaria Vector Anopheles Arabiensis Patton In The Republic Of Sudan

The main objectives of this study were to update the geographical distribution of Anopheles gambiae complex and to investigate the genetic structure of Anopheles arabiensis, the main malaria vector in Sudan. A total of 4,932 mosquitoes including 3047 larvae and 1885 adults (males and females) were c...
