Fauna and kariotipiс structure of populations of malaria-carrying mosquitoes in national park «Valdaysky»

The population-genetic structure of three closely related species of genus Anopheles: A. beklemishevi, A. maculipennis and A. messeae, inhabiting Valdaysky National Park, was studied for the first time. Mentioned spesies were mostly confined to the various larval biotopes. The highest level of chromosome polymorphism was recorded for A. messeae. This species belongs to the groups of populations, characteristic for the center of specific areal.
