Genome-wide association studies reveal candidate variants associated with oviposition-site choice in Anopheles arabiensis

The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a genetic basis for oviposition-site choice in the malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis within an agricultural landscape. The identification of candidate SNPs and genes associated with oviposition-site choice helps us to unravel the evolutionary forces that regulate malaria outbreaks within the agricultural landscape of malaria-endemic regions.
