title: [RAPD analysis of the populations of the malaria mosquitoes Anopheles superpictus and A. pulcherrimus in the malaria foci of the central Asia].
abstract: RAPD-analysis was used to estimate intraspecies-specific variability in malaria mosquitoes, the major vectors of malaria in Central Asia. The high heterogeneity of RAPD-loci was found in 7 populations of An. superpictus and 2 populations of An. pulcherrimus. Genetic distances between the populations were determined on the basis of analysis of the frequencies of 15 RAPD-loci. There was a genetic similarity of An. superpictus populations in the malaria foci of Tadjikistan with those in the neighboring Surkhandariya Region of Uzbekistan.
