Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present baseline entomological data obtained during surveys conducted for four mining operations in Ghana, West Africa, and highlight the complexity of the situation prevailing in southern Ghana and the challenges facing the malaria vector control programs in this region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogenetics of tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) based on mitochondrial (COI, 16S, ND2) and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences, with an emphasis on the palpalis group.

TL;DR: The resulting phylogeny confirms the monophyly of the morphologically defined fusca, morsitans and palpalis subgenera and confirms the existence of cryptic species within this subspecies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population genetic structure of the major malaria vector Anopheles funestus s.s. and allied species in southern Africa

TL;DR: This is the first report comparing An.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malaria vectors in Angola: distribution of species and molecular forms of the Anopheles gambiae complex, their pyrethroid insecticide knockdown resistance (kdr) status and Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite rates
TL;DR: More extensive studies of malaria vectors are required to support the malaria control programme in Angola, and standard insecticide resistance biossays and molecular assays that can detect both metabolic resistance and target site insensitivity are required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cryptic Diversity within the Major Trypanosomiasis Vector Glossina fuscipes Revealed by Molecular Markers
Naomi A. Dyer,Sophie Ravel,Kwang Shik Choi,Alistair C. Darby,Sandrine Causse,Berisha Kapitano,Martin J. R. Hall,Keith Steen,Pascal Lutumba,Joules Madinga,Steve J. Torr,Loyce M. Okedi,Michael J. Lehane,Martin J. Donnelly,Martin J. Donnelly +14 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the morphological classification alone is not used to classify populations of G. fuscipes for control purposes, and molecular evidence generated from nuclear DNA, microsatellites and gene sequence information, mitochondrial DNA and symbiont DNA support the existence of these taxa as discrete taxonomic units.
