title: Genetic sexing system for the preferential elimination of females in Culex quinquefasciatus.
abstract: A genetic sexing strain T(1M;2)1 of Culex quinquefasciatus was synthesized for the preferential elimination of females during the larval stage. Translocations were induced which linked the gene for resistance to malathion to the male-determining factor. Mitotic chromosomes were analyzed to determine the precise nature of the translocation.
