Linkage of a gene for DDT-resistance in adults of the mosquito Aedes aegypti.

The gene RDDT2, which gives resistance to DDT in the imago of Aedes aegypti L. has been mapped on linkage group III with respect to six visible markers. The best interpretation of the order of the genes is:- blp - blt - co - fz - wi -RDDT2 - min, but the order blp - blt - co - fz -RDDT2 - wi - min is also possible.

Linkage of the genes for DDT and dieldrin resistance in larvae of the mosquito Aedes aegypti.

The DDT resistance gene RDDT1, and the dieldrin resistance gene Rd1 have been mapped on linkage group II with respect to visible markers, in the mosquito Aedes argypti L. The best interpretation of the data gives the order wa - Rdl - ds RDDT1 - s - y but was - Rdl -ds - y - s - RDDT1 is also possible. h is very loosely linked with RDDT1. The length of the linkage group has been considerably extended from previous studies.
