| high amounts of genetic differentiation between populations of the malaria vector anopheles arabiensis from west africa and eastern outer islands. | polymorphism at nine microsatellite loci was examined to assess the level of genetic differentiation between four anopheles arabiensis populations from senegal, the high plateau of madagascar, and reunion and mauritius islands. eight of nine loci showed great polymorphism (2-16 alleles/locus) and significant genetic differentiation was revealed between all four populations by f- and r-statistics, with fst estimates ranging from 0.080 to 0.215 and equivalent rst values ranging between 0.022 and 0 ... | 1999 | 10403334 |
