Description:
Thirty-four population samples representing the worldwide distribution of the mosquito Aedes aegypti were analyzed for variation at 19 to 22 enzyme-coding genes. A multivariate discriminant analysis revealed that the genetic differences among populations in six geographic regions and between two subspecies enable one to determine the regional origin of a population. Such studies of population genetics may have quite general applicability in studying vector-borne diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Powell, J R -- Tabachnick, W J -- Arnold, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Jun 20;208(4450):1385-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7375945" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
