Colonization of malaria vectors under semi-field conditions as a strategy for maintaining genetic and phenotypic similarity with wild populations

Table 2 Number of samples of An. arabiensis males for which DNA was successfully amplified for microsatellite analysis in different colonies and generations in this study

Estimated Generation*	Wild population	Cage colony 1	Cage colony 2	SFS colony
1		49	48	47
2		48	48	47
5		47	46	48
10	50	48	48	47
Total amplified	50	192	190	189

*Indicates the estimated number of generations since these colony populations were taken from their wild field population.
