GENETIC AND LINKAGE ANALYSES OF MAROON EYE AND ACID PHOSPHATASE I IN CULEX TRITAENIORHYNCHUS

Abstract
Maroon eye (ma) and the acid phosphatase I (Acph-l) system of C. tritaeniorhynchus Giles [a human virus vector] were subjected to genetic and linkage analyses. Both loci are linked to the linkage group 2 locus, ebony body (e) and the gene sequence is ma-e-Acph-l. Experiments also revealed that maroon eye is temperature-sensitive.
