Transmission ratio distortion in the human body louse, Pediculus humanus (Insecta: Phthiraptera).

Heredity - 1 Jan 2006

McMeniman C J, Barker S C

Abstract excerpt

We studied inheritance at three microsatellite loci in eight F, and two F2 families of the body (clothes) louse of humans, Pediculus humanus. The alleles of heterozygous female-parents were always inherited in a Mendelian fashion in these families. Alleles from heterozygous male-parents, however, were inherited in two different ways: (i) in a Mendelian fashion and (ii) in a non-Mendelian fashion, where males...
