The answer is yes. This has been observed in Mali where introgressesion of genes between Anopheles gambii and Anopheles coluzii, due to hybridization, led to a type resistant to treated mosquito nets. Hybridisation results to exchange of genes between species. A selective pressure (a force of Natural Selection)- in this case insecticides- causes the environment to select the most adaptive genes for survival of the species.
