Abstract:Implementation of long‐lasting insecticide‐treated net (LLIN) programs to control human malaria transmission leads to substantial reductions in the abundance of Anopheles mosquitoes, but the impact on the population genetic structure of the malaria vectors is poorly known, nor has it been investigated in Papua New Guinea, where malaria is highly endemic and where several species of Anopheles have vector roles. Here, we applied Wright's F‐statistic, analysis of molecular variance, Bayesian structure analysis, a… Show more
