Abstract
The inheritance of mtDNA was tested in malaria vector mosquitoes of Anopheles stephensi strains using PCR-RFLP analysis for its utility in addressing epidemiological questions related to the transmission and spread of malaria. Reciprocal crosses were made between two haplotypes with distinct mtDNA restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) profiles through 20 consecutive generations. All of the progenies produced by these crosses had the mtDNA haplotype of the female parent suggesting that, if it occurs, paternal inheritance of mtDNA in An. stephensi is rare.
