Abstract

Enzymes were investigated, by electrophoresis, in a population of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead collected from Rusinga Island in Lake Victoria, Western Kenya. The following enzymes were tested: glucose phosphate isomerase. glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH). hexokinase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), malate-dehydrogenase (MDH), phosphoglucomutase, and xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH). Single monomorphic bands were stained by the following enzymes apparently under the control of single loci: G6PDIL MDH, and XDH. The enzyme IDH showed two bands with very close mobilities and no variation among individuals in the population. Hence IDH was considered as representing a single locus. Glucose phosphate isomerase manifested three alleles and apparently six genotypes, Phosphoglucomutase manifested a double-banded pattern representing an autosomal locus. © 1991, Entomological Society of Canada.
