The main malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa, theAnopheles gambiae(Giles; Diptera: Culicidae), normally breed in clean water sources. However, evidence suggests an on-going adaptation of Anopheline species to polluted breeding habitats in urban settings. This study aimed at understanding the adaptation to breeding in water bodies with different qualities, in five selected mosquito breeding sites in urban Accra, Ghana. The study sites were also evaluated for the WHO water-quality parameters as a measure of pollution, and insecticide residues. Field mosquitoes were evaluated for five genes;CYP6P3,CYP4H19,CYP4H24,GSTD1-4, andABCC11—associated with insecticide detoxification—using quantitative RT-PCR, as well as Mono-oxygenase, Alpha Esterase, GlutathioneS-transferase, and insensitive acetylcholinesterase (AChE) using biochemical enzyme assays. The lab-reared, insecticide susceptibleAn. gambiaeKisumu strain was bred in the most polluted water source for 10 generations and evaluated for the same genes and enzymes. The results revealed that the fold expression of the genes was higher in the larvae compared with the adults. The results also suggest that detoxification enzymes could be involved in the adaptation ofAn. gambiaeto polluted breeding sites. Correlation analysis revealed a highly positive significant correlation between calcium levels and all five genes (P< 0.05). Stepwise linear regression to understand which of the variables predicted the expression of the genes revealed that sulphate was responsible forABCC11andCYP4H24, alkalinity forGSTD1-4, and calcium forCYP4H19and CYP6P3. The detailed genetic basis of this adaptation need to be further investigated. A further understanding of this adaptation may provide outlooks for controlling malaria and other disease vectors adapted to polluted breeding water sources.
