The metaphor of 'genomic islands of speciation'was first used to describe heterogeneous
differentiation among loci between the genomes of closely related species. The biological …

Almost 20 years have passed since the first reference genome assemblies were published
for Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest malaria parasite, and Anopheles gambiae, the …

Abstract Background In 1987, Gillies and Coetzee published a pictorial key for the
morphological identification of adult female mosquitoes. Since then, several new species of …

The sustainability of malaria control in Africa is threatened by the rise of insecticide
resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes that transmit the disease1. To gain a deeper …

Introduction The notion that species boundaries can be porous to introgression is
increasingly accepted. Yet the broader role of introgression in evolution remains contentious …

Malaria control relies heavily on pyrethroid insecticides, to which susceptibility is declining in
Anopheles mosquitoes. To combat pyrethroid resistance, application of alternative …

Abstract Purpose of Review Malaria remains a global burden contributing to morbidity and
mortality especially in children under 5 years of age. Despite the progress achieved towards …

Background Many of the mosquito species responsible for malaria transmission belong to a
sibling complex; a taxonomic group of morphologically identical, closely related species …

Animal species adapt to changes in their environment, including man-made changes such
as the introduction of insecticides, through selection for advantageous genes already …

Malaria control, and that of other insect borne diseases such as dengue, is heavily
dependent on our ability to control the mosquito populations that transmit these diseases …
