Abstract
The aim of the present study was to identify and characterise bacterial symbionts in
An. gambiae s.l. mosquitoes, and ultimately select one that occurs in all its life
stases. Mosquito larvae and pupae samples were collected from six locations in the
Greater Accra region of Ghana and some reared to adults in the laboratory. Wild adult
An. gambiae mosquitoes from Navrongo and Dodowa (Ghana) and Jaribuni (Kilifi
District, Kenya) and laboratory colonies of adult An. gambiae mosquitoes from
Kilimanjaro (Tanzania), Suakoko (Liberia) and Kisumu (Kenya) and An. lU'abknsu
(Wqcningen SU'ain) were alw studied.
