Comparative analyses reveal discrepancies among results of commonly used methods for Anopheles gambiae molecular form identification

Federica Santolamazza, Beniamino Caputo, Maria Calzetta, José L Vicente, Emiliano Mancini, Vincenzo Petrarca, João Pinto, Alessandra della Torre Malaria Journal 2011, 10:215 (2 August 2011)

The results reveal that the PCR and PCR-RFLP approaches most commonly utilized to identify A. gambiae M and S forms are not fully interchangeable, as usually assumed. There are operational suggestions on the choice of the most convenient method for large-scale M- and S-form identification.

To help target malaria control efforts in Africa and prevent its re-emergence in Europe, we present contemporary distribution maps and relevant bionomic information for the seven dominant vector species (DVS) of Africa and the six DVS found across Europe and the Middle East. Image: Occurrence data and predicted distribution of An. gambiae, one of the DVS of Africa.
