• Anopheles stephensi
• Cytochrome oxidase
• Gene flow
• Genetic differentiation
• Haplotype diversity

The genetic differentiation in A. stephensi based on haplotype diversity using Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism and by sequencing of CO II gene across different localities in India has been analyzed. The presence of only one DraI restriction site in CO II gene conferred to haplotype B indicating that the gene is very much conserved and the gene flow is not affected even by a major geographical distance barrier. The sequencing and analysis of various population parameters revealed seven haplotypes in all populations. The West Bengal Population was found to be more genetically diverse than others. The geographic distance between populations was found to be contributing to the genetic differentiation. The sign of demographic expansion were found in three of the five populations. The local geographic barriers were found to be ineffective in prevention of gene flow.
