Project context and summary :
The highest global malaria prevalence is in Africa, where the most important vectors are members of the Anopheles gambiae species complex. We generated a large curated panel of infected wild Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes in West Africa to analyze for association of genetic variants with susceptibility to the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
