New microsatellite markers for the neotropical malaria vector Anopheles nuneztovari sensu lato

A. S. Cunha-Machado and Scarpassa, V. M., New microsatellite markers for the neotropical malaria vector Anopheles nuneztovari sensu lato, vol. 13, pp. 8856-8861, 2014.

Anopheles nuneztovari sensu lato consists of cryptic species and genetic lineages, one of which is an important human malaria vector in the northern part of South America. Population structure and evolutionary genetics studies may help in the definition and delimitation of the species and lineages within this species complex, which is relevant information for organizations involved in malaria control efforts. In this study, 10 new microsatellite markers were isolated from 2 repeat-enriched genomic libraries of A. nuneztovari s.l.
