  abstract = {{A} sodium channel 'kdr'-type mutation was identified in the {M} form of {A}nopheles gambiae from {B}urkina {F}aso in the tropical savannah area belt. {T}he molecular {M} form of {A}n. gambiae is found at high frequencies in the flooded rice cultivation area of {K}ou {V}alley, where the insecticide selection pressure is limited. {T}he spread of the mutation in the {M} population is an ongoing process, as it increased from a frequency of 0.006 in 1999 to 0.02 in 2000. {T}he {S} molecular form occurs in sympatry in our study village, with the {M} form at a relatively low frequency. {T}he common 'kdr' mutation was previously detected in this area in the {S} form, and has probably invaded the {M} population through genetic introgression. {T}his impacts on the question of actual levels of gene flow between the two molecular forms in tropical savannah areas. {A} hybrid {M}/{S} individual was identified during the course of this study, which was homozygous for the 'kdr' mutation. {P}yrethroid resistant {A}n. gambiae were caught in {O}ctober and {N}ovember, which is the time of year that the molecular {S} form migrates into this area as rain-fed breeding sites in the cotton fields dry out.},
