Fig. 2From: Does extreme asymmetric dominance promote hybridization between Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae s.s. in seasonal malaria mosquito communities of West Africa?Species characterization of the sperm bundle extracted from spermathecae of inseminated females of An. gambiae s.l. The sperm was genotyped using a well-established PCR-RFLP species diagnostic (Fanello 2002). The lanes were: DNA size ladder (SL); positive controls for An. coluzzii (col, 1), An. gambiae s.s. (gam, 2) and An. arabiensis (ara, 3); negative control (C-, 4); sperm bundles from the spermatheca of An. gambiae s.s. (col, 5–8) and An. coluzzii (gam, 9) females from interspecific mating pairs. Expected sizes are indicated in base-pairs (bp)Back to article page
