“…This particular mosquito had never been found in countries other than Korea and Japan until 2019, when it was identified in the Netherlands and a new invasion of Europe was confirmed (Doggett et al 2019;Ib añez-Justicia et al 2019). No other vector is known to have the same characteristic as A. albopictus and other Aedes species; however, A. flavopictus has previously shown the potential to transmit dengue fever in laboratory conditions (Toma et al 2002;Srisawat et al 2016). In this study, the mitochondrial genome sequence of A. flavopictus (GenBank accession number: MT501510) was confirmed.…”

In this study, we determined for the first time the mitochondrial genome sequence of an Aedes flavopictus specimen collected in South Korea. Its mitochondrial genome was 16,060 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, and 2 rRNA genes and a non-coding A þ T rich region. The overall base composition in the heavy strand was 39.7, 8.6, 12.7, and 39% of A, G, C, and T, respectively, and the G þ C content was 21.2%. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Aedes spp. formed a monophyletic clade.

Background Aedes mosquitoes are important invasive species contributing to the spread of chikungunya, dengue fever, yellow fever, zika virus, and other dangerous vector-borne diseases. Aedes albopictus is native to southeast Asia, with rapid expansion due to human activity, showing a wide distribution in the Korean peninsula. Aedes flavopictus is considered to be native to East Asia, with a broad distribution in the region, including the Korean peninsula. A better understanding of the genetic diversity of these species is critical for establishing strategies for disease prevention and vector control. Methods We obtained DNA from 148 specimens of Ae. albopictus and 166 specimens of Ae. flavopictus in Korea, and amplified two mitochondrial genes (COI and ND5) to compare the genetic diversity and structure of the two species. Results We obtained a 658-bp sequence of COI and a 423-bp sequence of ND5 from both mosquito species. We found low diversity and a nonsignificant population genetic structure in Ae. albopictus, and high diversity and a nonsignificant structure in Ae. flavopictus for these two mitochondrial genes. Aedes albopictus had fewer haplotypes with respect to the number of individuals, and a slight mismatch distribution was confirmed. By contrast, Ae. flavopictus had a large number of haplotypes compared with the number of individuals, and a large unimodal-type mismatch distribution was confirmed. Although the genetic structure of both species was nonsignificant, Ae. flavopictus exhibited higher genetic diversity than Ae. albopictus. Conclusions Aedes albopictus appears to be an introduced species, whereas Ae. flavopictus is endemic to the Korean peninsula, and the difference in genetic diversity between the two species is related to their adaptability and introduction history. Further studies on the genetic structure and diversity of these mosquitos will provide useful data for vector control.

“…albopictus in Cameroon [ 28 ]. Furthermore, Aedes galloisi which is regarded as an invasive species was reported in our study [ 26 ]]. The introduction of Aedes galloisi vector into north eastern Nigeria could be possible via migration as a result of the humanitarian crisis where cross-border crossings are not monitored.…”
