  abstract = {{A}nopheles funestus {G}iles ({D}iptera: {C}ulicidae) is one of {A}frica's major malaria vectors. {T}o understand population structure within {A}n. funestus, various molecular markers have recently been developed. {W}e investigated the impact of the {R}ift {V}alley on one such molecular marker, a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism ({RFLP}). {T}his system distinguishes {A}n. funestus populations into types {M}, {W}, and {MW}. {G}enerally, these types correlate between geographical location and {RFLP} type, whereby {M} associates essentially with eastern {A}frica, {W} with western and central {A}frica, and {MW} with southern {A}frica. {I}n total, 606 specimens were screened from 12 countries. {S}pecimens from southern {A}frican localities were of the expected {MW}-type with the exception of the sample from {M}alawi, which showed all three types. {T}he specimens from {T}anzania showed the {M}- and {MW}-types, whereas specimens from {K}enya showed {M}- and {W}-types. {W}e also recorded different {RFLP} types not recorded previously. {T}ype {Y} was recorded in {M}alawi, and {Z}-type was recorded from four localities: {A}ngola, {M}alawi, {G}hana, and {Z}ambia.},
