  abstract = {{U}nderstanding the impact of altitude and ecological heterogeneity at a fine scale on the populations of malaria vectors is essential to better understand and anticipate eventual epidemiological changes. {I}t could help to evaluate the spread of alleles conferring resistance to insecticides and also determine any increased entomological risk of transmission in highlands due to global warming. {W}e used microsatellite markers to measure the effect of altitude and distance on the population genetic structure of {A}nopheles funestus and {A}nopheles gambiae s.s. in the {M}uheza area in the north-eastern part of {T}anzania (seven loci for each species). {O}ur analysis reveals strong gene flow between the different populations of {A}n. funestus from lowland and highland areas, as well as between populations of {A}n. gambiae sampled in the lowland area. {T}hese results highlight for {A}n. funestus the absence of a significant spatial subpopulation structuring at small-scale, despite a steep ecological and altitudinal cline. {O}ur findings are important in the understanding of the possible spread of alleles conferring insecticide resistance through mosquito populations. {S}uch information is essential for vector control programmes to avoid the rapid spread and fixation of resistance in mosquito populations.},
