Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of <i>Anopheles funestus</i> in Western Kenya Based on Mitochondrial DNA Marker <i>COII</i>

The mitochondrial marker, <i>COII,</i> was employed to assess the genetic structure and diversity of <i>Anopheles funestus,</i> a very important malaria vector in Africa that adapt and colonize different ecological niches in western Kenya. Mosquitoes were collected using mech...
