Abstract excerpt
Glossina pallidipes Austen from Lambwe and Nguruman in Kenya and a laboratory colony, originating from flies collected at Lambwe, were compared for 12 enzyme-gene systems using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In the Nguruman, Lambwe, and colony flies, mean heterozygosities were 9.1, 15.3, and 16.5%, and polymorphism was observed in 3, 4, and 5 loci, respectively. Significant differences in number of gene...
