Abstract
Abstract Anopheles moucheti is a major human malaria vector in Equatorial Africa. The screening of an Anopheles moucheti genomic microsatellite library allowed us to select 36 sequences with AC/GT dinucleotide tandem repeats. Primer pairs were designed to amplify the loci and 25 out of 36 gave a repeatable and scorable amplification. In total, 17 loci were selected for their high degree of polymorphism (the number of alleles per locus ranged from four to 16, and observed heterozygosity from 0.43 to 0.87) and suspicion of absence of null alleles, using 30 wild females from South‐Cameroon. No linkage disequilibrium was found between the loci.
