Figure 2. West African kdr genotype of wild Elibou Anopheles coluzzi population.
The ‘A’, ‘C’, ‘D’ and ‘E’ on the figure are the positive controls respectively for the East- kdr homozygous mutant allele, heterozygous mutant/susceptible allele, homozygous susceptible allele and blank. The same nine mosquitoes of Figure 1 displayed the heterozygous (‘B’) genotype. We have not quantified the DNA in extracted samples. A low quantity of DNA in the West- kdr homozygous positive control might explain the low signal observed for A.
