title: Enzyme polymorphism in Mansonia uniformis, a mosquito vector of brugian filariasis.
abstract: Three temporal samples of a wild population of Mansonia uniformis were analysed for genetic variation at six gene-enzyme systems. Adenylate kinase, hexokinase (3 loci) and cathodal malate dehydrogenase were monomorphic. Phosphoglucomutase, glucose phosphate isomerase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and anodal malate dehydrogenase were polymorphic. Each of the polymorphic loci was represented by three alleles. The average heterozygosity or gene diversity was 0.0437.
