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.enBacterial SymbiontsAnopheles Gambiae S.L.MosquitoLarvaePupaeGreater Accra RegionGhanaThesis
