“…The mechanisms behind this expansion are not fully understood; however, demographic parameters of humans may influence the successful distribution and increasing population size of A. albopictus in Penang. Additionally, A. albopictus showed increase egg hatch, a short aquatic life, increased immature survival, and fecundity under uncontrolled conditions of temperature and humidity, which may contribute to the increased adult population size (Aida et al, 2011).…”

“…This mosquito is native to Asia and is also known as the Asian tiger mosquito (Usmani-Brown et al, 2009). Aedes albopictus is a daytime-biting mosquito that transmits a variety of viruses through a female bite (Aida et al, 2011). This species can breed in artificial container habitats such as tires, buckets, vases, and ornamental ponds, resulting in its rapid and successful widespread distribution (Novak, 1992;Birungi and Munstermann, 2002).…”

ABSTRACT. The mosquito Aedes albopictus is indigenous to SoutheastAsian and is a vector for arbovirus diseases. Studies examining the population genetics structure of A. albopictus have been conducted worldwide; however, there are no documented reports on the population genetic structure of A. albopictus in Malaysia, particularly in Penang. We examined the population genetics of A. albopictus based on a 445-base pair segment of the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase 1 gene among 77 individuals from 9 localities representing 4 regions (Seberang Perai Utara, Seberang Perai Tengah, Northeast, and Southwest) of Penang. A total of 37 haplotypes were detected, including 28 unique haplotypes. The other 9 haplotypes were shared among various populations. These shared haplotypes reflect the weak population genetic structure of A. albopictus. The phylogenetic tree showed a low bootstrap value with no genetic structure, which was supported by minimum spanning network analysis. Analysis of mismatch distribution showed poor fit of equilibrium distribution. The genetic distance showed low genetic variation, while pairwise F ST values showed no significant difference between all regions in Penang except for some localities. High haplotype diversity and low nucleotide diversity was observed for cytochrome oxidase 1 mtDNA. We conclude that there is no population genetic structure of A. albopictus mosquitoes in the Penang area.
