Hybridization model for Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and R. zambeziensis by glucose-P-isomerase isoenzymes.
Hybrids between Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and R. zambeziensis were reared and glucose-phosphate-isomerase isoenzymes were resolved by agarose electrophoresis. By phenotyping hybrids in F1 and F2 generations autosomal transmission of 2 GPI genes was demonstrated. Identification of a hybrid phenotype provides a method for identifying hybrids in field collections.
