Standing genetic variation and chromosome differences drove rapid ecotype formation in a major malaria vector

S. T. Small, C. Costantini, N. Sagnon, M. W. Guelbeogo, S. J. Emrich, A. D. Kern, M. C. Fontaine, N. J. Besansky

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to show that standing genetic variation and chromosomal differences drove rapid ecotype formation in Anopheles funestus, a malaria vector, adapting to different habitats.

Invasion of forested areas in Gabon (Central Africa) by the Asian tiger mosquito and the potential consequences from the One Health perspective

J. Obame-Nkoghe, D. Roiz, M.-F. Ngangue, C. Costantini, N. Rahola, D. Jiolle, D. Lehmann, L. Makaga, D. Ayala, P. Kengne, C. Paupy

The paper tracks the spread of the Asian tiger mosquito in Gabon's rainforest and finds it thrives at human-forest interfaces, potentially facilitating zoonotic disease transmission.
