Abstract excerpt

This study examines the use of codominant restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers to estimate the number of sibling families found within and among oviposition sites used by the mosquito Aedes aegypti (L) (Diptera: Culicidae). Estimates were made using pairwise relatedness (rxy) calculations based on alleles shared between individuals. Genotypes for eight laboratory mosquito families were...
