  abstract = {{T}he evolutionary processes at play between island and mainland populations of the malaria mosquito vector {A}nopheles gambiae sensu stricto are of great interest as islands may be suitable sites for preliminary application of transgenic-based vector control strategies. {S}ao {T}ome and {P}rincipe, located off the {W}est {A}frican coast, have received such attention in recent years. {T}his study investigates the degree of isolation of {A}n. gambiae s.s. populations between these islands and the mainland based on mitochondrial and ribosomal {DNA} molecular data. {W}e identify possible continental localities from which these island populations derived. {F}or these purposes, we used {F}-{ST} values, haplotype networks, and nested clade analysis to estimate migration rates and patterns. {H}aplotypes from both markers are geographically widespread across the {A}frican continent. {R}esults indicate that the populations from {S}ao {T}ome and {P}rincipe are relatively isolated from continental {A}frican populations, suggesting they are promising sites for test releases of transgenic individuals. {T}hese island populations are possibly derived from two separate continental migrations. {T}his result is discussed in the context of the history of the {A}frican slave trade with respect to {S}ao {T}ome and {P}rincipe.},
