This study characterizes a new Anopheles funestus colony (FUTAZ) established in Tanzania, comparing its fitness traits and genetic markers to wild and existing colonies.

The paper analyzes genomic diversity in Anopheles funestus across Africa, identifying genetic variation, adaptation signals, and conservation of a gene drive target.

This study compares mating behavior between Anopheles funestus and Anopheles arabiensis under controlled conditions, finding species-specific differences in copulation timing and light response.
