Reproductive isolations of Anopheles sinensis from Anopheles lesteri and Anopheles sineroides in Korea

Three species of iso-female lines of Korean anophelines (Anopheles sinensis, An. lesteri, and An. sineroides) were identified based on combinative diagnostic characteristics of morphology, metaphase karyotypes, crossing experiments, and comparison of DNA sequences of ribosomal DNA Internal Transcrib...
