The population genetics of Anopheles sinensis, a major malaria vector in South Korea, was studied based on the nucleotide sequences of a 238-bp variable region of the mitochondrial control region. Three features of genetic variance were observed. First, the Taebaek and Sobaek mountain ranges may function as genetic barriers between the Northern Group (NG) and the Southern Group (SG). These mountain ranges are associated with the subdivision of the population, and significant and unique population differentiation was observed in the examined area. Second, the genetic cohesiveness observed within each group may have been caused by a recent expansion in the population rather than recurrent gene flow. Third, a marked dissimilarity in the genetic diversity between the two groups may also have resulted from several factors that caused a difference in the effective population sizes.
基于线粒体控制区238bp可变区的核苷酸序列，对韩国主要疟疾传播媒介中华按蚊的群体遗传学进行了研究。观察到遗传变异的三个特征。首先，太白山脉和小白山脉可能作为北方群体（NG）和南方群体（SG）之间的遗传屏障。这些山脉与种群细分有关，在所研究区域观察到显著且独特的种群分化。其次，每组内观察到的遗传凝聚力可能是由种群近期扩张而非反复的基因流动引起的。第三，两组之间遗传多样性的显著差异也可能是由导致有效种群大小不同的几个因素造成的。
