Abstract excerpt
Geographic variation among Culex pipiens L. populations was studied along a north-south transect across Egypt. Horizontal starch gel electrophoresis of 10 enzyme loci permitted estimates of adult polymorphism for 10 demes of Cx. pipiens. Levels of genetic variability, as indicated by a mean of 1.25 alleles per locus, a mean expected heterozygosity of 0.023, and a proportion of 0.25 of the loci being polymorphic,...
