| characterization of its2 rdna of anopheles philippinensis and anopheles nivipes (diptera: culicidae) from north-east india. | anopheles (cellia) philippinensis ludlow and anopheles (cellia) nivipes (theobald) are two closely related, morphologically very similar, mosquito species in the annularis group, which play a supportive role in malaria transmission in north-east india. we amplified and performed sequence analysis for the internal transcribed spacer 2 (its2) locus of ribosomal dna (rdna) gene of morphologically confirmed specimens of these two species from the states of assam and nagaland. an. philippinensis and ... | 2006 | 17333766 |
| cytotaxonomic evidence for the presence of anopheles nivipes in india. | anopheles philippinensis mosquitoes were collected from 5 states in india: assam, meghalaya, arunachal pradesh, manipur, and nagaland. half-gravid females were examined for variations in wing venation using the presector dark mark on vein i and polytene chromosomes derived from ovarian nurse cells. polytene chromosomes were examined for diagnostic inversions, t on chromosome arm 2 and i on arm 5. based on wing characteristics, both an. philippinensis and an. nivipes were identified. polytene chr ... | 2000 | 10901629 |
