Zusammenfassung

In Anbetracht der theoretischen und in einem Freilandexperiment bereits erwiesenen Möglichkeit der Bekämpfung von Schadinsekten durch Freilassung semisteriler Tiere wurde die Produktion von Translokationen und damit verbundener Semisterilität bei der StechmückeCulex pipiens untersucht. Die Totalrate der erzeugten Translokationen liegt bei Stechmücken im Vergleich zuDrosophila auffallend hoch. Es besteht offenbar eine Korrelation zwischen der Gesamtlänge der Chromosomen und der Translokationsrate.
