    • Breakdown in the Process of Incipient Speciation in Anopheles gambiae 

      Nwakanma, Davis C.; Neafsey, Daniel Edward; Jawara, Musa; Adiamoh, Majidah; Lund, Emily; Rodrigues, Amabelia; Loua, Kovana M.; Konate, Lassana; Sy, Ngayo; Dia, Ibrahima; Awolola, T. Samson; Muskavitch, Marc; Conway, David J. (Genetics Society of America, 2013)
      Understanding genetic causes and effects of speciation in sympatric populations of sexually reproducing eukaryotes is challenging, controversial, and of practical importance for controlling rapidly evolving pests and ...
    • Malaria infection does not affect the sensitivity of peripheral receptor neurons in Anopheles stephensi 

      Grant, Alan; Muskavitch, Marc; O’Connell, Robert J (BioMed Central, 2013)
      Background: Mosquitoes transmit many important diseases including malaria, dengue and yellow fever. Disease transmission from one vertebrate host to another depends on repeated blood feedings by single mosquitoes. In order ...
    • Metabolic and Target-Site Mechanisms Combine to Confer Strong DDT Resistance in Anopheles gambiae 

      Mitchell, Sara N.; Rigden, Daniel J.; Dowd, Andrew J.; Lu, Fang; Wilding, Craig S.; Weetman, David; Dadzie, Samuel; Jenkins, Adam M.; Regna, Kimberly; Boko, Pelagie; Djogbenou, Luc; Muskavitch, Marc A. T.; Ranson, Hilary; Paine, Mark J. I.; Mayans, Olga; Donnelly, Martin J. (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      The development of resistance to insecticides has become a classic exemplar of evolution occurring within human time scales. In this study we demonstrate how resistance to DDT in the major African malaria vector Anopheles ...
    • Patterns of Genomic Differentiation between Ecologically Differentiated M and S Forms of Anopheles gambiae in West and Central Africa 

      Reidenbach, Kyanne R.; Neafsey, Daniel Edward; Costantini, Carlo; Sagnon, N’Fale; Simard, Frédéric; Ragland, Gregory J.; Egan, Scott P.; Feder, Jeffrey L.; Muskavitch, Marc; Besansky, Nora J. (Oxford University Press, 2012)
      Anopheles gambiae M and S are thought to be undergoing ecological speciation by adapting to different larval habitats. Toward an improved understanding of the genetic determinants and evolutionary processes shaping their ...
