Genetic analysis of two enzyme polymorphisms in a malaria vector mosquito: octanol dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase in Anopheles culicifacies Giles.

Abstract	Genetic analysis was performed on two polymorphic enzyme systems in the malaria vector, Anopheles culicifacies Giles. The data indicate that both enzymes, octanol dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase, are controlled by autosomal loci but that these two loci are not linked. The three expected linkage groups in this mosquito have now been identified: linkage group I contains sex and rose-eye; linkage group II contains Odh; and linkage group III contains Acph.
