Abstract

Isozymes from five wild-caught Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) were compared using starch gel electrophoresis to estimate the rates of gene flow between and among S. calcitrans populations from five different geographic regions of Thailand. Among ten enzyme systems, 13 putative loci and 10
polymorphisms were detected. Limited genetic differentiation among the five populations was observed as indicated by the low FST (0.078). The highest percentage of polymorphic loci was observed in eastern Trat province and northern Chiang Mai province (69.2%), whereas the lowest percent polymorphism was seen in south-central Saraburi province (23.1%). Gene flow between populations varied from 6.16 to 15.38 reproductive migrants per generation with no fixed genetic differences detected. Among the five population samples, no correlation was seen between genetic and geographical distances showing that sampled S. calcitrans fit closely in the same cluster taxa. The genetic and epidemiological ramifications of these findings are discussed.
