A previously unreported potential malaria vector in a dry ecology of Kenya

Maximum-likelihood tree inferred for mosquito specimens encountered in this study. a ITS2 sequences using a JC model (267–763 bp). b cox1 barcode region using a GTR+G model (615–658 bp). Analysis was performed in MEGA v.6 with bootstrap support values based on 1000 replications shown above nodes. Other reference anopheline species are included for comparison. The scale-bar indicates the number of substitutions per site. Study samples with Plasmodium infection are indicated with red block circles, and those with blood meals from humans or goats are highlighted in green and grey, respectively. Taxon abbreviations denote samples analysed with haplotype sequences corresponding to GenBank accession nos: a ITS2 (540–538 nt; {"type":"entrez-nucleotide-range","attrs":{"text":"MK043038-MK043040","start_term":"MK043038","end_term":"MK043040","start_term_id":"1489305218","end_term_id":"1489305220"}}MK043038-MK043040). b cox1 (528–646 nt; {"type":"entrez-nucleotide-range","attrs":{"text":"MK047664-MK047672","start_term":"MK047664","end_term":"MK047672","start_term_id":"1597417353","end_term_id":"1597417369"}}MK047664-MK047672
