Abstract
Genetic linkage data are presented on an isocitrate dehydrogenase (Idh-1) and a tetrazolium oxidase (To-2) locus in the mosquito A. togoi as well as a new linkage map of this species. Both isozymes (IDH-1 and TO-2) are dimeric; the Idh-1 and To-2 loci were mapped together on linkage group 1 of all 3 linkage groups in this species (haploid chromosome number = 3), as in the linkage map presented here. But correlation between these 3 linkage groups and the 3 chromosomes was not yet established. The entire map of the 3 linkage groups was marked thus far with 16 visible and 7 enzyme loci; its total map length is .apprx. 250 units. Linkage group 1 is presently the longest, occupying 13 of all 23 mapped loci; this group contains the sex-determining (M) and an acid phosphatase (Acph) locus near its middle, which is the situation similar to linkage group 1 of A. aegypti.
