Abstract excerpt
Two quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting susceptibility of the mosquito Aedes aegypti to the filarial worm parasite Brugia malayi were identified using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers. The first locus, fsb[1,LF178], resides within a 10 cM interval on chromosome 1 and ex...
