L. Mauricodasilva et al., LOW-LEVELS OF GENETIC DIFFERENTIATION IN MOSQUITO (CULEX-QUINQUEFASCIATUS) POPULATIONS FROM RECIFE, PERNAMBUCO, BRAZIL, Brazilian journal of genetics, 17(2), 1994, pp. 145-147
An allozymic survey of five populations of Culex quinquefasciatus (Dip
tera; Culicidae) in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, revealed very low leve
ls of genetic differentiation in malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehy
drogenase and phosphoglucomutase loci, judging from the low values of
F(ST) found. An explanation is proposed, based on seasonal change in p
opulation size, sanitation conditions and urban transport.
