Partner study description
Pyrethrum spray collections were conducted in three villages in Cameroon during September and October 2009. These villages comprise a transect from forest (village of Mayos: 4.341, 13.558) to forest/savanna transition (village of Daiguene: 4.777, 13.844) to savanna (villages of Gado-Badzere and Zembe-Borongo: 5.747, 14.442) (1). All contributed specimens were An. gambiae s.s. (2). A proportion of specimens were karyotyped via scoring of polytene chromosomes (3). Specimens were stored on silica gel, and DNA was extracted using a simple CTAB protocol and run over Qiagen columns.
