Abstract excerpt
An inbred line of the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae is refractory to development of malaria parasites. It is homozygous for a 4.3-kb Sal I restriction fragment at the Dox-A2 locus, whereas the parent population is polymorphic at this locus, and a susceptible line is homozygous for an alternate 3.85-kb fragment. The Dox-A2 locus is located in the middle of chromosome 3R, in division 33B, and is tightly...
