A survey of laboratory strains of Anopheles stephensi for nonspecific esterases by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed 10 zones of esterase activity. In 3 of the 10 zones, three electromorphs were observed. Genetic analysis revealed that these three zones are controlled by three loci, viz., Est-3, Est-4, and Est-5, and that the electromorphs are codominant alleles at each locus. The three esterase loci were found linked to each other and to an autosomal marker colorless-eye. The esterase loci have tentatively been placed in linkage group II. The probable gene sequence on chromosome 2 is either c-Est-3-Est-4-Est-5 or c-Est-4-Est-3-Est-5.
通过聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳对斯蒂芬斯按蚊实验室品系的非特异性酯酶进行调查，发现了10个酯酶活性区。在这10个区中的3个区，观察到了三种电泳形态。遗传分析表明，这三个区由三个基因座控制，即Est-3、Est-4和Est-5，并且电泳形态是每个基因座的共显性等位基因。发现这三个酯酶基因座彼此连锁，并与一个常染色体标记无色眼连锁。酯酶基因座暂时被定位在连锁群II中。染色体2上可能的基因序列是c-Est-3-Est-4-Est-5或c-Est-4-Est-3-Est-5。
