Neighbor-joining tree showing the relationships among the human mtDNA haplotypes amplified from mosquitoes.

Abstract

<p>Each symbol represents one DNA sequence amplified from one mosquito. Different shapes represent different <i>Anopheles</i> species (squares-<i>An</i>. <i>punctulatus s</i>.<i>s</i>., triangles-<i>An</i>. <i>farauti</i> 4) and is colored according to the collection site (green-Dimer, blue-Wasab, purple-Kokofine). Mixed blood meals are highlighted by boxes of the same color: for example, the two red boxes show two human mtDNA haplotypes amplified from a single <i>An</i>. <i>farauti</i> 4 mosquito collected in Kokofine.</p
