Studies on X-Ray Induced Chromosomal Translocations in Anopheles Albimanus

II. Laboratory Evaluation of Sexual Competitiveness of Translocation Males

Mohammad G. Rabbani* AND James B. Kitzmiller{dagger}

Success of a genetic control program in a sexually reproducing species depends largely on the mating competitiveness of the released individuals. The sexual vigor of male Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes carrying an Y-autosome translocation was evaluated in the laboratory and found to be equal to that of wild type males.
