“…In linkage group I, Ml is located in a nearly terminal position closely linked to Delta. The current linkage group I map is: (Baker 1968) ; Rehman Ganj, a village on the outskirts of Lahore on the Ravi River (Baker 1968;Baker and Sakai 1973b); Rattipindi, approximately 100 miles north of Lahore (Baker andSakai 1972, 1973a, b) ; Chaksaithian, 22 miles from Lahore (Baker and Sakai 1972) ; and Kot Digi, approximately 400 miles south of Lahore (Sakai et al 1976b) ; 2 from Bangladesh:…”

“…Previous genetic studies with morphological mutant and isozyme markers in Cx. tritaeniorhynchus have consistently shown that recombination does not occur in females, but does occur in males (Baker & Rabbani, 1970;Sakai et al , 1972;Baker & Sakai, 1973a, 1973b, 1974. Because these studies were only able to examine 2 or 3 loci in individual crosses, we elected to re-confirm this phenomena using RFLP markers to perform whole genome analyses in both F 1 intercross and BC 1 populations.…”

A comparative linkage map for Culex tritaeniorhynchus was constructed based on restriction fragment length polymorphism markers using cDNAs from Aedes aegypti. Linear orders of marker loci in Cx. tritaeniorhynchus were identical to Culex pipiens wherein chromosomes 2 and 3 reflect whole-arm rearrangements compared to A. aegypti. However, the sex determination locus in Cx. tritaeniorhynchus maps to chromosome 3, in contrast to Cx. pipiens and Ae. aegypti where it is located on chromosome 1. Our results indicate that insensitive acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-mediated organophosphate resistance is controlled by a single major gene (AChE) on chromosome 2, while the AChE structural gene (Ace) is located on chromosome 1. No evidence for a second Ace gene was observed, even under very low stringency hybridization conditions.

“…Many studies have found that C. tritaeniorhynchus females do not undergo recombination (e.g. Baker & Rabbani, 1970; Baker & Sakai, 1973a,b; Mori et al ., 2001), though recombination occurs in both sexes in Culex pipiens (D. Severson, pers. comm.…”

We have constructed the first genetic linkage map for the North American arboviral vector Culex tarsalis. 120 F 2 offspring from a cross between two colonies were genotyped using 25 microsatellites and six inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. We resolved four linkage groups which likely correspond to two full-length chromosomes and two arms of the final chromosome. The longest linkage group contains the sex locus and corresponds to chromosome 3. Recombination rates around the sex locus were dramatically higher in females compared to males. The majority of microsatellite loci share sequence identity with regions of the Culex quinquefasciatus genome, whose assembly should aid in anchoring linkage groups to physical chromosomes. This map will aid in identification of loci involved with variable phenotypes in C. tarsalis including WNV susceptibility.
