In Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood, linkage group III is defined as the autosome carrying the locus Mdh (malic dehydrogenase), the only locus so far identified in this linkage group. The locus αGpd.2 (α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase) was located 45 map units (MU) to the left of Xo (xanthine oxidase) and the loci Est.1 and Est.2 (loci for two esterases found in the thorax) were mapped approximately 5–10 MU to the right of Ao (aldehyde oxidase) in linkage group II. The location of G6pd (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) has been confirmed to be approximately 37 MU to the left of oc (ocra body color) in linkage group I and it was shown that this region of the X chromosome does not involve the large paracentric inversion found in the Handeni line. A genetic map for 12 loci in the three linkage groups found in G. m. morsitans is presented.Key words: Diptera, Glossina, mapping, inversion, isozymes.

Differential Part

Linkage group I is defined as the loci on the differential part of the X-chromosome of adult Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood. Three loci are known and their order on the X-chromosome has been demonstrated as ocra (body color), salmon (eye color), and Apk (arginine phosphokinase, E.C. 2.7.3.3) with 38 map units separating the first two loci and 32 to 41 separating the second two. This region of the X-chromosome does not contain the chromosomal inversion known to occur in the Handeni line of G. m. morsitans. Linkage group II is defined as the autosome carrying the locus Xo (xanthine oxidase, E.C. 1.2.3.2), and it is demonstrated to carry also the loci Ao (aldehyde oxidase, E.C. 1.2.3.1) and Odh (octanol dehydrogenase, E.C. 1.1.1.73). Ao and Odh are within 0.36 map units of each other and have not been separated by recombination; this pair of loci occur about 48 map units from Xo. During mapping experiments, no evidence for genetical recombination was found in male G. m. morsitans.

Standard mapping procedures were used to map four loci in linkage group I (the X chromosome), two loci in linkage group II, and two loci in linkage group III of Glossina morsitans submorsitans. In the presence of the allele Srd (the distorter allele favoring production of female offspring), no recombination occurred between any of the following loci: Pgm (phosphoglucomutase), wht (white eye color), Est-X (a thoracic esterase), and Sr (sex-ratio distortion). However, in the absence of Srd (i.e., in females homozygous for Srn, the allele that permits males to sire both female and male offspring in approximately equal numbers), the loci Pgm and wht were separated by 23 ± 4.0% recombination (map distance). These results indicate that ourG. m. submorsitans strains carry two forms of the X chromosome, designated XA and XB. In support of this interpretation, two lines of G. m. submorsitans were established: in both lines, males with wild-type eyes sired families that were almost exclusively female, while males with white eyes sired families having males and females in approximately equal numbers. Two loci, Ao (aldehyde oxidase) and Est-1 (a thoracic esterase) were separated by 6.1 ± 2.3% recombination in linkage group II, and two loci, Mdh (malate dehydrogenase) and Pgi (phosphoglucose isomerase), showed 51.9 ± 4.9% recombination in linkage group III.

The locus for phosphoglucomutase (Pgm) was mapped at less than 1.2 recombination units from the locus for arginine phophokinase (Apk) in linkage group I, the X chromosome. Linkage group III loci were mapped in the order sabr (long scutellar apical bristles in females), Mdh (malate dehydrogenase), and Pgi (glucose-6-phosphate isomerase). The loci sabr and Mdh were separated by 39.3 ± 4.6 recombination units, and Mdh and Pgi were separated by 45.5 ± 4.7 recombination units. Intrachromosomal recombination was rare or did not occur in males. Previously published recombination distances are summarized as a linkage map for the 16 loci that have been mapped in Glossina morsitans morsitans.Key words: tsetse, linkage map, phosphoglucomutase, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase.

A line of Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood was established in which females have scutellar apical bristles approximately three times as long as normal. In other respects the flies appear normal. The mutant allele, sabr, is recessive to the wild-type allele. The locus for sabr is located in linkage group III, 50 or more map units from the locus for malic dehydrogenase. Scutellar apical bristles in mutant flies are longer in flies emerging from puparia maintained at 30 °C than in flies emerging from puparia maintained at 25 °C.Key words: Glossina, mutation sabr, bristle length.

And Inversion

A small reciprocal translocation T(1;2)1 involving chromosomes 1 and 2 and a paracentric inversion In(1)3 on m chromosome (1) of A. aegypti interact to give peculiar but consistent crossover values. The system is termed COSES and is associated with partial sterility. In females it suppresses crossing over tremendously to the right of bz and enhances crossing over to its left. In the males it enhances crossing over to the right of m (only 3 crossover units away from bz) hut the region to its left remains unaffected. COSES also displays interchromosomal effects by enhancing crossing over in linkage group III. Cytological and genetic evidence for the presence of translocation and inversion are presented. All three pairs of chromosomes are correlated to the three linkage groups.

The Right

The action of electrically evoked activity in somatic afferent fibers on the sensitivity of the baroreceptor reflex was examined in decerebrate cats. The sensitivity of the reflex was expressed as the difference between the maximum prolongation of R-R interval in response to carotid sinus pressure elevation and the mean of 10 R-R intervals immediately before pressure elevation. The control value of R-R interval prolongation was 192 +/- 50 ms. Stimulation (10 Hz) of group I and II fibers of the right peroneal nerve (evoked volleys recorded from the sciatic nerve) had no effect on R-R interval prolongation (171 +/- 45 ms). Recruitment of group III fibers (10 Hz) conducting at 23.6 +/- 0.65 m/s reduced the prolongation of R-R interval to 52 +/- 14 ms. Recruitment of group IV fibers (10 Hz) conducting less than 2.5 m/s further reduced the prolongation of R-R interval to 1.0 +/- 8.0 ms. It is concluded that the inhibition of the cardiac vagal component of the baroreceptor reflex produced by electrical stimulation of the peroneal nerve is mediated by afferent fibers of groups III and IV.

Intrinsic Cardiac Nerves

The intrinsic cardiac nerves (ICN) have been shown to develop supersensitivity to nicotine (NIC) following complete extrinsic cardiac denervation. The present experiments were performed to delineate the pattern of ICN distribution in the heart by examining the pattern of NIC supersensitivity after unilateral vagotomy (VGX). Thirty-eight dogs were placed on cardiopulmonary bypass and inotropy evaluated by means of isovolumic pressures from fluid-filled balloons placed in the atria and ventricles. The animals were divided into three groups: group I, sham-operated controls; group II, animals studied 1–2 wk after VGX; and group III, animals studied 8–12 wk after VGX. Chronotropic and inotropic responses were evaluated in terms of NIC and acetylcholine (ACh) dose-response curves as well as frequency-response curves to stimulation of the intact vagus nerve (0.5–30 Hz). No change in NIC sensitivity was observed in group II, and vagal frequency-response curves were identical to group I. In group III dogs, both the right atrium and right ventricle showed significant increases in NIC sensitivity after left vagotomy. All group III animals showed right-shifted frequency-response curves. We conclude that nicotinic supersensitivity of the ICN and inotropic unresponsiveness to vagal stimulation occur but are slow in developing (70–130 days); and preganglionic sprouting does not appear to play a functional role in the adjustment of cardiac control mechanisms to unilateral vagotomy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) expressing adenoviral vector in vivo. The day before vector injection, immunosuppressant FK506 was given subcutaneously to each rat at doses of 12 mg/kg (Group I), 6 mg/kg (Group II) and 3 mg/kg (Group III). FK506 was not administered to the six rats of the control group. Twenty-five liters of AXCAOBMP-2 (3.93 × 109pfu/ml) were injected into the right calf muscle of all rats. On day 21 after vector injection, all groups were investigated radiologically, histologically, and biochemically. Osteoinduction was seen in the AxCAOBMP-2-injected groups with immunosuppression. However, no bone formation was observed in the control group. These findings suggest that AxCAOBMP-2 has the potential of osteoinduction under transient immunosuppression. AxCAOBMP-2 may be useful for future clinical application in bone reconstruction, if host immunity response can be regulated.
