Intragenomic rDNA ITS2 variation in the neotropical Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) albitarsis' complex (Diptera: Culicidae)

Article Abstract:

A study that cloned and sequenced the rDNA internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of the 'Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) albitarsis' demonstrated that variation between individuals may be greater than between populations when mutation rates outpace homogenization rates. No differences were found between males and females, suggesting that similar rDNA arrays exist on both the X and Y chromosomes.

Genetics of creamish white, and eye color mutant in Anopheles stephensi

Article Abstract:

Anopheles stephensi is an important carrier of malaria in India and Pakistan. Among its morphological markers are eye colour, of which nine mutants have so far been found. Genetic analysis of a new eye colour, creamish-white, reveals that it is sex linked and recessive to wild eye colour. Details of the study are presented.
