Evidence for Divergent Selection on Immune Genes between the African Malaria Vectors, <i>Anopheles coluzzii</i> and <i>A. gambiae</i>

Evidence for Divergent Selection on Immune Genes between the African Malaria Vectors, <i>Anopheles coluzzii</i> and <i>A. gambiae</i>

During their life cycles, microbes infecting mosquitoes encounter components of the mosquito anti-microbial innate immune defenses. Many of these immune responses also mediate susceptibility to malaria parasite infection. In West Africa, the primary malaria vectors are <i>Anopheles coluzzii<...
