Abstract excerpt
Enzyme allomorph frequency and electrophoretic mobility were evaluated to clearly separate between morphologically similar sandfly species and to yield quantitative measures of their genetic similarity. Twelve enzyme systems were studied in laboratory colonies of Phlebotomus perniciosus, P. langeroni, P. papatasi, and P. bergeroti. Phlebotomus perniciosus and P. langeroni confirmed vectors of visceral...
