Abstract

We investigated the historical demography of Anopheles albimanus using mosquitoes from five countries and three different DNA regions, the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI), the single copy nuclear white gene and the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer two (ITS2). All the molecular markers supported the taxonomic status of a single species of An. albimanus. Furthermore, agreement between the COI and the white genes suggested a scenario of Pleistocene geographic fragmentation (i.e., population contraction) and subsequent range expansion across southern Central America.

Funding

Financial support was obtained partially from the Secretariat for Science, Technology and Innovation of Panama (SENACYT) through a research grant ( COL08-066 ) awarded to Jose R. Loaiza. Additional financial support was provided by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI), National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant (AI) R0154139-02 to JEC, Instituto Colombiano para el Desarrollo de la Ciencia y la Tecnología (COLCIENCIAS) grant 1115-05-16879 to MCO, Comité para el Desarrollo de la Investigación (CODI) Universidad de Antioquia grant 8700-039 and E-01233 , to MCO, and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to MES . Research at the Institute of Parasitology is supported by a regroupement stratégique from Fonds Québécois de la recherche sur la nature et les technologies (FQRNT). We would like to acknowledge Dr. Efrain Beltran from the National Malaria Eradication Service (SNEM), in Ecuador, and Luis Guillermo Chaverri Sánchez from Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad de Costa Rica (INBio) for technical assistance. We are grateful to Matthew Miller and Laura B. Geyer from STRI and to Martin Donnelly from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine for helpful discussions and comments on earlier versions of the manuscript.
