Abstract excerpt

Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers were used to evaluate Aedes aegypti genome structure and genetic variability within and between substrains selected for different levels of refractoriness to the malaria parasite, Plasmodium gallinaceum. The MOYO-R substrain was previously s...
