1. Analyze of molecular differentiation among Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzi Brazilian populations using a multilocus approach (Diptera: Culicidae) / Análise da diferenciação molecular entre populações brasileiras de Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii utilizando uma abordagem multilocus (Diptera: Culicidae)
Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii (Diptera: Culicidae) has long been known as the primary vector of human and simian malaria parasites in southern and southeastern Brazil. The distribution of this mosquito follows the coast of the Brazilian Atlantic forest. Previous studies have suggested that An. cruzii is a complex of cryptic species. In the current study, a fr

2. A population genetics study of Anopheles darlingi (Diptera: Culicidae) from Colombia based on random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction and amplified fragment lenght polymorphism markers
The genetic variation and population structure of three populations of Anopheles darlingi from Colombia were studied using random amplified polymorphic markers (RAPDs) and amplified fragment length polymorphism markers (AFLPs). Six RAPD primers produced 46 polymorphic fragments, while two AFLP primer combinations produced 197 polymorphic fragments from 71 DN

3. Isoenzymatic variability among five Anopheles species belonging to the Nyssorhynchus and Anopheles subgenera of the Amazon region, Brazil
An isoenzymatic comparative analysis of the variability and genetics differentiation among Anopheles species was done in populations of An. (Nys.) intermedius and An. (Ano.) mattogrossensis of the Anopheles subgenus, and of An. darlingi, An. albitarsis and An. triannulatus of the Nyssorhynchus subgenus, with the aim of detecting differences between both subg

4. Reverse genetics in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae: targeted disruption of the Defensin gene
Anopheles gambiae, the major vector of human malaria parasite, is an important insect model to study vector–parasite interactions. Here, we developed a simple in vivo double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) knockout approach to determine the function of the mosquito antimicrobial peptide gene Defensin. We injected dsRNA into adults and observed efficient and reproduci

5. Cloning of inversion breakpoints in the Anopheles gambiae complex traces a transposable element at the inversion junction
Anopheles arabiensis, one of the two most potent malaria vectors of the gambiae complex, is characterized by the presence of chromosomal paracentric inversions. Elucidation of the nature and the dynamics of these inversions is of paramount importance for the understanding of the population genetics and evolutionary biology of this mosquito and of the impact
