Phylogeny of fourteen <i>Culex</i> mosquito species, including the <i>Culex pipiens</i> complex, inferred from the internal transcribed spacers of ribosomal DNA
1 May 1996
Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal DNA sequence divergence in the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS-1 and ITS-2) was examined for fourteen species and four subgenera (sixty-two clones) in the mosquito genus Culex (Diptera: Culicidae). A neighbour-joining tree produced with Kimura 2-parameter distances showed that each of the four subgenera was monophyletic at confidence probabilities of 70-99%. Culex (Lutzia) formed the sister...
