Genetic lineages in the yellow fever mosquito Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) from Peru

Abstract

The yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti was introduced in Peru in 1852

Phylogeography of Aedes aegypti (Yellow Fever Mosquito) in South Florida: mtDNA Evidence for Human-Aided Dispersal

“…Although most of the above studies have used the ND4 partial sequence, our analysis of both ND4 and ND5 partial sequences again showed a similar pattern, supporting the multiple introduction hypothesis. Although nuclear copies of mtDNA may explain clustering of haplotypes into two distinct clades, [24][25][26][27][28][29][30]54,56,57 we confirmed the absence of nuclear copies in our Ae. aegypti mtDNA sequences.…”

“…aegypti studied in several other geographic areas. 11,15,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30]54 Discovery of two ND4 mtDNA clusters of Ae. aegypti in Northeastern Mexico provided the first evidence of introductions of two independent mitochondrial lineages or a newly introgressed matriline.…”

“…24,47 Other ND4 mtDNA studies came to similar conclusions for Ae. aegypti populations in Thailand, 25 Peru, 26 Venezuela, 27 Brazil, 28,54 and several sites in South America and Africa 29,30 and for Ae. japonicus, a recent invader into the United States.…”

“…aegypti 11,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30] and other mosquitoes 23,31,32 showed variability in the ND4 and ND5 sequences that yielded reliable gene genealogies suitable for inferring population structure and contributions of historical and current demographic processes. Both forward and reverse strands were sequenced using the ABI 3100 automated sequencer at the Keck Center, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL.…”
