Lactate dehydrogenase allozyme differentiation of species in the Anopheles culicifacies complex.
Genetically controlled enzyme variation exists within and between four sibling species of the Anopheles culicifacies complex of malaria vectors in India. A study on electrophoretic variation of nine enzymes in An. culicifacies sibling species revealed that the lactate dehydrogenase (Ldh) locus has Fast (F) and Slow (S) allozymes distinguishing species A+D from species B+C with a probability of c. 95%.
