Homozygous translocations in Anopheles albimanus

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1983
Four homozygous, autosomal translocation stocks were established in Anopheles albimanus, which is an important vector of malaria in Central America. When inbred, the fertility of these homozygous translocation stocks ranged from 87.4 to 92.5%, and similar fertilities were observed in outcrosses to a normal strain.

Mitochondrial DNA variation among Anopheles albimanus populations.

The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 1999
Barriers to gene flow between Pacific and Atlantic coast populations of Anopheles albimanus were reported in an earlier study of variation in the intergenic spacer of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. We examined the distribution of mitochondrial DNA haplotypes among A. albimanus populations to test for gene flow barriers with an independent genetic marker. A

Color Mutants in Anopheles albimanus (Diptera: Culicidae)

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1985
The mode of inheritance and linkage relationships were determined for three new mutants in Anopheles albimanus Wiedemann. Sable, a dominant trait, and brown larva, a recessive variant, are located on the left arm of chromosome 2, and yellow is on the right arm. The linkage relationships between these mutants and other loci are presented.

Studies on the Ecology of Anopheles Albimanus

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1972
Summary In general, it seems that A. albimanus might be more zoophilic than anthropophilic, more exophagic than endophagic, more exophilic than endophilic, not particularly long-lived, and infrequently found harboring malaria parasites. Yet, this species is considered to have been responsible for the annual transmission of malaria to thousands of ...

The Distribution of Anopheles Albimanus in the Caribbean Islands

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1953
Summary 1.  The presence of A. albimanus in the island units of the Caribbean is discussed. 2.  Field observations have now established its absence from the Netherlands Leeward and Windward Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, St. Vincent, Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominica and St. Kitts.

Mitochondrial inactivation by Anopheles albimanus cecropin 3: Molecular mechanisms

Peptides, 2014
Cecropin 3 (Ccrp3) is an antimicrobial peptide from Anopheles albimanus, which is expressed during Plasmodium berghei infection. Here, we report that synthetic Ccrp3, aside from antibacterial activity, also shows cardio regulatory functions. In rats, Ccrp3 significantly diminishes blood pressure as well as the heartbeat frequency at nanomolar ...

X-RAY INDUCED PERICENTRIC INVERSIONS IN ANOPHELES ALBIMANUS

Canadian Journal of Genetics and Cytology, 1977
Sixteen different pericentric inversions, ten on chromosome 2 and six on chromosome 3, have been isolated and characterized. The partial sterility in the inversion heterozygotes ranged from about 28 to 50%. Contrary to theoretical considerations, a curvilinear relationship exists between inversion length and partial sterility, whereby a reduction in ...

Isolation and characterization of histones from Anopheles albimanus Weidemann

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1989
1. Histones from Anopheles albimanus adults were prepared by a combination of techniques including chromatin isolation and selective extractions. 2. The anopheline histones were identified on acid urea gels by comparing their electrophoretic profile with that of calf thymus histones and histones isolated from other tissue. 3.
