79%). There was a significant difference (P=0.001) between rural and urban communities in species composition at (P<0.05).A Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay identified two major species within the Anopheles gambiae complex; Anopheles gambiaes.s. and Anopheles arabiensis. Further identification using the Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisim (PCR-RFLP) revealed the presence of all three molecular forms (M,S,and H) of Anopheles gambiaes.s.; and for the first time detection of the hybrid form (H form).The distribution maps presented here highlights the existence and location of two members of the Anopheles gambiae complexand three members of the Anopheles gambiaes.s.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
