Salivary Gland Chromosomes of <i>Anopheles fluviatilis</i> James (Diptera: Culicidae)

The salivary gland chromosomes of Anopheles ramsayi and its relationship with Anopheles stephensi (Culicidae: Diptera).

The process of speciation, interrelationship of the species and the evolution ary trends in the family culicidae have been studied by the various workers using the banding pattern of the salivary gland chromosomes. Based on a comparison of the salivary chromosome maps the phylogenetic kinship among the various sp ecies of the genus Anopheles, studied so far, is now well understood (Schreiber 19...

Salivary gland proteins of the human malaria vector, Anopheles dirus B (Diptera: Culicidae).

Salivary gland proteins of the human malaria vector, Anopheles dirus B were determined and analyzed. The amount of salivary gland proteins in mosquitoes aged between 3--10 days was approximately 1.08 +/- 0.04 microg/female and 0.1 +/- 0.05 microg/male. The salivary glands of both sexes displayed the same morphological organization as that of other anopheline mosquitoes. In females, apyrase accu...

Distribution of mass in salivary gland chromosomes.

Experimental induction of gene activity in the salivary gland chromosomes of Trichosia pubescens (Diptera: Sciaridae)

During the course of experiments with larvae of Trichosia pubescens, we have unexpectedly found that diethyl ether or chloroform anesthesia induces a large puff in a specific band in the polytene chromosomes of the salivary glands. This puff develops a few minutes after the treatment, attaining its maximum size after 60-100 min, and regresses completely 200 min after its activation. Through aut...

the salivary gland chromosomes of culex pipiens molestus

the polygene chromosomal pattern together with the somatic and meiotic chromosomes of the autogenous tehran strain of culex pipiens molestus is described. the first and third chromosomes are metacentric, the second one is slightly submetacentric. each chromosome has well-defined, large puffed char­acteristic centromeres. randomly distributed asynaptic regions on the polytens chromosomes are ind...
