We have constructed the first genetic linkage map for the North American arboviral vector Culex tarsalis. 120 F(2) offspring from a cross between two colonies were genotyped using 25 microsatellites and six inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. We resolved four linkage groups which likely correspond to two full-length chromosomes and two arms of the final chromosome. The longest linkage group contains the...
