Abstract
Electrophoretic studies were carried out on isozymes of 3 populations of Anopheles minimus collected from Guangxi and Yunnan Provinces of the People's Republic of China in 1993. Eight proteins were analyzed by 5% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The most variable population, Y-F, was highly polymorphic at 14 of 20 loci (P=0.700) with an average heterozygosity H of 0.340. P values of 0.500 and 0.700, and H values of 0.220 and 0.210 were obtained for each from 'Guangxi-Lab' (GX-L) and 'Yunnan-Lab' (Y-L), respectively. Nei's genetic distances (D) between Y-L and GX-L, Y-F and GX-L, and Y-F and Y-L were 0.1131, 0.1946 and 0.1069, respectively. These results suggest that GX-L is distant from the 2 other populations, Y-L and Y-F, and that this genetic differentiation between the 2 populations of Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces corresponds to the forms A and B, which were morphologically classified by Xu et al (unpublished).
