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)
