Figure 2. Cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) sequence alignments, showing only variable bases generated in the study and available in GenBank, for (A) Anopheles stephensi (n = 2) from a colony derived from females collected at Bandar-Abbas in mainland Hormozgan Province and GenBank entries from India (Tamil Nadu, n = 3; Pondicherry, n = 2), colony material (University of Leeds, UK, n = 3) and another of unknown origin (n = 1), (B) Culex quinquefasciatus from the Persian Gulf Islands of Abu-Musa (n = 1),Larak(n = 1) and Qeshm (n = 1) and four GenBank entries from India (Kerala, Hyderabad, Pondicherry and south) and (C) Ochlerotatus caspius s.l. from Abu-Musa Island (n = 5) and GenBank entries from Ardebil (n = 1) and East Azerbaijan (n = 1) Provinces in northern Iran. Bases identical to the lead sequence are denoted by dots (·); dashes (–) indicate bases missing because of differently sized fragments available in GenBank.
