Microsatellites were used as markers for a study of the population structure of Anopheles funestus on Madagascar and Comoros. Mosquitoes were collected in four different localities on Madagascar and one on Comoros. There was a significant genetic differentiation between all samples from Madagascar and that from Comoros (P<0.05). With respect to the Madagascar mosquito samples, it was found that there were no significant genetic differences between samples that were collected at the east coast, and in the highlands, respectively. By contrast, the west coast sample exhibited significant genetic differences (with regard to all Madagascar samples). The results are discussed with respect to population distribution and migration of A. funestus from mainland Africa and the islands east of the mainland.
微卫星被用作研究马达加斯加和科摩罗的恶性疟蚊种群结构的标记物。在马达加斯加的四个不同地点和科摩罗的一个地点采集了蚊子。马达加斯加所有样本与科摩罗样本之间存在显著的遗传分化（P<0.05）。关于马达加斯加的蚊子样本，发现分别在东海岸和高地采集的样本之间没有显著的遗传差异。相比之下，西海岸样本表现出显著的遗传差异（相对于所有马达加斯加样本）。结合来自非洲大陆和大陆以东岛屿的恶性疟蚊的种群分布和迁移情况对结果进行了讨论。
