TL;DR: Analysis of the PEST strain of A. gambiae revealed strong evidence for about 14,000 protein-encoding transcripts, and prominent expansions in specific families of proteins likely involved in cell adhesion and immunity were noted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles amharicus, new members of the Anopheles gambiae complex.
Maureen Coetzee,Richard H. Hunt,Richard C. Wilkerson,Alessandra della Torre,Mamadou B. Coulibaly,Nora J. Besansky +5 more
TL;DR: Two new species within the Anopheles gambiae complex are here described and named, based on molecular and bionomical evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Polytene Chromosome Analysis of the Anopheles gambiae Species Complex
Mario Coluzzi,Adriana Sabatini,Alessandra della Torre,Maria Angela Di Deco,Vincenzo Petrarca +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, field-collected specimens of all known taxa in the Anopheles gambiae complex were analyzed on the basis of chromosome inversions with reference to a standard polytene chromosome map.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insertion polymorphisms of SINE200 retrotransposons within speciation islands of Anopheles gambiae molecular forms
Federica Santolamazza,Emiliano Mancini,Frédéric Simard,Yumin Qi,Zhijian Tu,Alessandra della Torre +5 more
TL;DR: The approach utilized allowed to develop new easy-to-use co-dominant markers for the analysis of genetic differentiation between M and S-forms and opens new perspectives in the study of the speciation process ongoing within Anopheles gambiae s.
Journal ArticleDOI
