For An. messeae, two fragments of the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene were also evaluated. The results were compared with GenBank sequences and data from the literature. ITS2 analysis revealed evident intraspecific polymorphism for An. messeae and a slightly less evident polymorphism for An. melanoon, whereas for each of the other species, 100\% identity was found among populations. ITS2 analysis of An. messeae identified five haplotypes that were consistent with the geographical origin of the populations. ITS2 seems to be a reliable marker of intraspecific polymorphism for this complex, whereas the COI gene is apparently uninformative.}, keywords = {anopheles maculipennis complex, culicidae, Cytochrome oxidase I, Diptera, evolution, gene, internal transcribed spacer two, malaria, malaria vector, northern Greece, polymorphism, primers, SEQUENCES}, author = {Di Luca, M. and Boccolini, D. and Marinucci, M. and Romi, R.} } @conference {1761, title = {Characterization of the Sex-Determining Genes dsx and Sxl in the Insect Bactrocera oleae}, booktitle = {Hellenic Society for Biological Sciences - 23rd Panhellenic Conference}, year = {2001}, month = {May 24-27}, publisher = {Hellenic Society for Biological Sciences}, organization = {Hellenic Society for Biological Sciences}, address = {Chios, Greece}, keywords = {Bactrocera, oleae, characterization, determining, dsx, gene, sex, Sxl, γονίδια, Δάκος, καθοριστικός, φύλο, χαρακτηρισμός}, author = {Lagos, D.I. and Kouskouti, A and Sanchez, L and Komitopoulou, K} }
