Adaptation of a South American malaria vector to laboratory colonization suggests faster-male evolution for mating ability
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p><it>Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) albitarsis </it>(Diptera: Culicidae) is one of the very few South American mosquito vectors of malaria successfully colonized in the laboratory. These vectors are very hard to breed because t...
