A phosphoglucomutase polymorphism in the mosquito, Anopheles culicifacies

A survey of phosphoglucomutase (Pgm) among laboratory strains of Anopheles culicifacies has uncovered two electrophoretic variants. Detailed genetic analysis revealed that these variants are inherited as codominant alleles at a single locus. The Pgm locus has been assigned to linkage group III approximately 39 map units from Acph (acid phosphatase) and 8.5 map units from Dl (dieldrin resistance). The data indicate that the probable gene sequence is Acph-Dl-Pgm.
