I am also interested in #Anopheles #mosquitoes that transmit #Plasmodium parasites which cause #malaria. I study #PopulationGenomics of these #vectors to find #CrypticSpecies and signals of #NaturalSelection which sometimes turns out to be not so natural (e.g. caused by #insecticides). Understanding patterns of #GeneticDiversity in these insects can help us better control them.
