title: [Radiation-induced inversions and reciprocal translocations in Anopheles atroparvus].
abstract: Inversions and reciprocal translocations were induced in Anopheles atroparvus by irradiation of males with X-rays. 22 aberrations were produced in stocks and were identified as follows: 6 paracentric, 6 pericentric inversions and 10 reciprocal translocations (9 autosomal and 1 sex-linked). Partial sterility in the offspring of this stock is demonstrated. The practical significance of constructing stocks with inversions and translocations for genetic control of pest insects is considered.
