Title: The inheritance of a mutant yellow larva in the mosquito Aedes togoi. Author: Tadano T. Journal: Ann Trop Med Parasitol; 1977 Sep; 71(3):361-5. PubMed ID: 921366. Abstract: In the mosquito Aedes (Finlaya) togoi (Theobald), which usually breeds in seawater in tidal pools and is a natural or experimental vector of various species of filariae, the mode of inheritance of a new mutant yellow larva (y) was investigated; the y allele is recessive and inherited independently of sex and its linked alleles, and independently of ruby eye (ru) and pigmented pupae (p), both of which are not sex-linked; therefore y is presumed to be on the third linkage group in this species. The allele y is completely penetrant with little variation in its expressivity, but its phenotype could not be reliably distinguished from that of sex-linked allele straw-coloured larva (s).[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
