Triploids and male determination in the mosquito, Anopheles culicifacies

R H Baker et al. J Hered. 1979 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

One family of Anopheles culicifacies was isolated in which all individuals examined (4 out of 13) were triploid. The one male examined was XXY, suggesting that unlike Drosophila the Y chromosome in this species may be important in male determination.
