Abstract excerpt
Esterases are often used to measure genetic variation, yet they may be influenced by external factors. Isoelectrofocusing was used to investigate the effects of bloodmeal on the esterase variation in wild populations of Phlebotomus (Larroussius) ariasi Tonnoir and P. (L.) perniciosus Newstead and in a colonized population of P. (Phlebotomus) duboscqi Neveu-Lemaire. Modified electrophoretic profiles were...
