  abstract = {{T}ransposable elements ({TE}s) are mobile portions of {DNA} that are able to replicate and spread in the genome of many organisms. {TE}s can be used as a means to insert transgenes in insects, being stably inherited throughout generations. {A}nopheles gambiae is the main vector of human malaria in {S}ub-{S}aharan {A}frica. {G}iven the extraordinary burden this disease imposes, the mosquito became a choice target for genetic control approaches with the purpose of reducing malaria transmission. {I}n this study, we investigated the abundance and distribution of {H}erves {TE} in {A}n. gambiae s.s. from {C}ameroon and four islands in the {G}ulf of {G}uinea, in order to determine their genetic structure. {W}e have detected a population subdivision between {E}quatorial {G}uinea islands and the islands of {S}ao {T}ome, {P}rincipe and mainland. {T}his partitioning associates more with political rather than geographic boundaries, possibly reflecting different mainland source populations colonizing the islands.},
