Distinct Genetic Populations and Resistance Backgrounds of the Malaria Vector Anopheles funestus in Tanzania

Joel O. Odero, Ismail H. Nambunga, Hamis Bwanary…·Tristan P. W. Dennis

The paper analyzes the population genetics of Anopheles funestus in Tanzania, identifying two distinct genetic populations with different resistance backgrounds and suggesting geographic barriers to gene flow.
