  abstract = {{A}nopheles arabiensis, together with {A}nopheles gambiae sensu stricto, are the most important vectors of human malaria in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica. {T}he malaria situation keeps worsening, with 1 to 3 million deaths a year, and alternative strategies are needed to decrease malaria transmission intensity. {I}n this paper, we studied the population structure of {A}n. arabiensis from three sample sites on the remote {I}ndian {O}cean island of {L}a {R}eunion. {O}ur results showed strong genetic structuring between {A}n. arabiensis populations on {L}a {R}eunion, indicating the presence of barriers to gene flow. {R}easons for such a high genetic differentiation are discussed, including the role of intensive control measures that have maintained reduced effective population size as well as a putative genetic adaptation to the environment. {T}his strong structuring situation on the island represents an ideal framework for the prospect of genetic-based control trials.},
