Description
Yasser Baheshm and co-authors use gene sequencing to confirm the spread of a malaria mosquito across southern Yemen, in work from 2024. This mosquito species has invaded parts of Africa, which raised concern for nearby lands. Field samples alone can be hard to name with full trust.
Samples came from five sites, among them Aden City and Al Mukalla. Two gene regions were read and compared on family trees. One region was the same in all samples, while the other showed two forms. Low variety in the DNA hints at a recent arrival, later than in the Horn of Africa.
