Chromosomal translocations and inherited semisterility in the malaria vector Anopheles stephensi Liston.
Anopheles stephensi males were irradiated with 3500 rads of gamma rays at the rate of 140 rads/min to induce chromosomal aberrations. Seven reciprocal translocations were isolated, including four sex-linked and three autosomal. The presence of translocations were confirmed by cytological analysis.
