Abstract
Genetically controlled enzyme variation exists within and between four sibling species of the Anopheles culicifacies complex of malaria vectors in India. A study on electrophoretic variation of nine enzymes in An. culicifacies sibling species revealed that the lactate dehydrogenase (Ldh) locus has Fast (F) and Slow (S) allozymes distinguishing species A+D from species B+C with a probability of c. 95%.Keywords
