ABSTRACT. An investigation focusing on themolecular forms-of Anopheles gambiae
complex and occurrence of the .knockdown resistanceIkdr gene) was carried out from June to
July 2001 and August to September 2002 at Igbo-Ora, NigeriJusirig aspirator and DNA
analyses; Of the 127 An. gambiae s. I. analysed.fhere were 66 (51:9%):.:tv1and61 (48.03%) S
forms, both recorded in An. gambiae s.s. andAnopheles arabiensis. The forms were virtually
sympatric throughout the study. Two of the An. gambiae s.s.examihed h~rbQured the kdr gene
(RR, RS). The occurrence ofthekdr gene at Igbo-Ora indicated theexisten2e of the gene in the
savanna woodland populations; earlier records were from the rain forest and Guinea savanna.
The implications of these results; within the context of incipient speciation in Anopheles
gambiae s.s. a~ediscussed.
