| inter- and intraspecific heterochromatin variation detected by restriction endonuclease digestion in two sibling species of the anopheles maculipennis complex. | the sibling species anopheles atroparvus and anopheles labranchiae are cytogenetically almost indistinguishable. the chromosome complement (2n = 6) consists of two pairs of autosomes and two heteromorphic sex chromosomes with largely homologous heterochromatic long arms. treatment of chromosome preparations with the restriction endonucleases, alu i, hae iii, mbo i, hpa ii, revealed species-specific differences of the sex chromosome banding pattern. these differences involved both amount and loca ... | 1990 | 2170300 |
| phylogeny of nearctic members of the anopheles maculipennis species group derived from the d2 variable region of 28s ribosomal rna. | phylogenetic affinities among taxa associated with the nearctic component of the anopheles maculipennis species group (subgenus anopheles) were inferred from sequence divergence in the d2 variable region of 28s ribosomal rna. the base composition of this region had a marked gc bias which ranged from 59.9% in anopheles walkeri to 65.1% in anopheles punctipennis e. although over two-thirds of the base positions in the d2 region were double-stranded (stem), substitution frequencies at single-strand ... | 1996 | 8899722 |
| [molecular genetic analysis of malaria mosquitoes of the anopheles maculipennis (diptera, culicidae) complex in azerbaijan]. | molecular genetic analysis of malaria vectors in the republic of azerbaijan has identified three species of malaria mosquitoes of the anopheles maculipennis complex: an. maculipennis, an. sacharovi, and an. persiensis. an. melanoon has not been found. an. sacharovi has been ascertained to predominate in the low-lying areas of the country. an. maculipennis prevails in the north, on the foothills of the great caucasus and it is also observed in the south, on the talysh foothills and mountains. an. ... | 2012 | 21395043 |
| spatio-temporal distribution of malaria vectors (diptera: culicidae) across different climatic zones of iran. | malaria is a main vector-borne public health problem in iran. the last studies on iranian mosquitoes show 31 anopheles species including different sibling species and genotypes, eight of them are reported to play role in malaria transmission. the objective of this study is to provide a reference for malaria vectors of iran and to map their spatial and temporal distribution in different climatic zones. shape files of administrative boundaries and climates of iran were provided by national cartogr ... | 2011 | 21771707 |

| dna barcodes confirm the presence of a single member of the anopheles maculipennis group in morocco and algeria: an. sicaulti is conspecific with an. labranchiae. | anopheles labranchiae falleroni is the only member of the maculipennis group known to occur in northern africa; however, confusion exists as to the taxonomic status of its junior synonym, an. sicaulti roubaud (type locality: near rabat, morocco). based on morphological and behavioural distinctions, it has been suggested that moroccan populations have been isolated from other north african populations by the atlas mountains, and that moroccan populations may represent an. sicaulti, originally des ... | 2011 | 21172298 |
| distribution of individual members of the mosquito anopheles maculipennis complex in germany identified by newly developed real-time pcr assays. | owing to their role as vectors of malaria parasites, species of the anopheles maculipennis complex (diptera: culicidae) meigen were intensively studied in the past, but with the disappearance of malaria in germany in the middle of the last century, the interest in this field of research declined. a comprehensive ecological analysis of the current species distribution for germany is lacking. between 2010 and 2013, a total of 1445 mosquitoes of the an. maculipennis complex were collected at 72 dif ... | 2016 | 26787387 |

| identification of the sibling species of the anopheles maculipennis complex by heteroduplex analysis. | the group of anopheline mosquitoes referred to as 'anopheles maculipennis complex' includes the most important malaria vectors of the palearctic western region. the species belonging to this complex, however, are difficult or impossible to distinguish by morphological characters. to differentiate sibling palearctic species belonging to this complex, interspecific differences in the its2 sequences were used to set up a rapid and sensitive diagnostic tool based on heteroduplex analysis. the relati ... | 2000 | 11029669 |
