47. Investigations on the A. gambiae complex reviewed in the present paper began in 1964, starting with laboratory material provided by G. Davidson, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and continued with analysis of field samples obtained through long-term collaborations between the Malaria Unit of the University of Rome "La Sapienza" (acting as World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Malaria Epidemiology) and many African institutions and collaborators in Benin, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Mali, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, The Gambia, and Togo. Training and research activities were supported by Control of Tropical Diseases/Malaria (CTD/MAL), WHO, and The U.N. Development Program-World Bank-WHO Special Program for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR); the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Directorate for Cooperation to Development; the Italian Ministry for Education, University, and Research; the European Union; the Rockefeller Foundation; and the Compagnia di San Paolo. We thank G. Petrangeli for technical assistance and N. Besansky, F. H. Collins, J. R. Powell, G. B. White and two reviewers for useful comments and improvements on the manuscript. Among the African collaborators, we would like to mention particularly the contribution of Y. T. Touré and his team from the Medical School at Bamako, Mali.
