Abstract excerpt
Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti are members of the mosquito family Culicidae and share a haploid chromosome complement of three. Although a genetic linkage map based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), markers exists for Ae. aegypti, the extent of synteny and linkage order conservation between the two species was unknown. A comparative linkage map for Ae. albopictus was constructed based mainly...
