Abstract excerpt
The Alexandria laboratory colony and five field populations of Phlebotomus papatasi (Scopoli) from Egypt were analyzed for genetic variation at 17 enzyme loci. The laboratory colony was characterized by a low level of genetic variation as measured by the average number of alleles per locus (A = 1.70 +/- 0.16) and the average expected heterozygosity (He = 0.06 +/- 0.02). Polymorphism was observed at 23.5% of the...
