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.
