Typical larval habitats of the chromosomal/molecular forms of A. gambiae in West Africa. Mopti chromosomal form (M molecular form, now A. coluzzii [21]) breeds in rice fields (Photo by C. Costantini). Savanna chromosomal form (S molecular form, now A. gambiae s.s.) breeds in rain-dependent temporary pools and puddles (Photo by C. Costantini). Bamako chromosomal form (S molecular form) breeds in laterite rock pools beside the Niger River (Photo by M. Fodde and M. Coluzzi).
