“…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.…”

Abstract. The invasive dengue vector Aedes aegypti has persisted for 200 years in South Florida in the United States. We tested the hypotheses that Florida's landscape creates dispersal barriers and corridors and that long-distance humanaided dispersal structures populations of Ae. aegypti. We evaluated the phylogeography of 362 individuals from Florida's East and West Coasts with a 760-bp (418-and 342-bp fragments of ND5 and ND4, respectively) mitochondrial sequence. Populations from these two coasts were not significantly differentiated, suggesting that limited urbanization in central Florida is not a strong barrier to gene flow. Evidence for long-distance dispersal between Ft. Lauderdale and the West and Ft. Myers and the East indicates the importance of human-aided dispersal. West Coast populations showed no genetic differentiation, indicating that West Coast rivers and bays did not significantly impede gene flow. Phylogeographic analysis of haplotypes showed two distinct matrilines with no geographic patterns, suggesting multiple introductions or balancing selection.

“…Only one other study examined the genetic diversity of Ae. vexans and targeted populations from the central United States (Szalanski et al 2006). Although genetic structure and variability have been studied for other mosquitoes of public health importance in small geographic areas, this is one of a few to study the population genetics of a floodwater mosquito species.…”

“…We chose ND5 mitochondrial sequence data for this study because it has proven to be an informative mtDNA marker for Ae. vexans (Szalanski et al 2006). This marker, or portions of it, has also been widely used in An.…”

The floodwater mosquito Aedes vexans, a potential vector of West Nile virus, has a worldwide distribution that includes the continental United States and southern Canada. In order to determine the effect that Hurricane Katrina had on the temporal genetic variation of Ae. vexans from New Orleans, we compared genetic diversity of a portion of the mtDNA ND5 gene of mosquito specimens collected during 2005 (n = 99) with specimens from 2006 (n = 103), after the hurricane. Average haplotype diversity (Hd) was high (>0.88) in 2005 and 2006 for both the parishes studied. It does not appear that Hurricane Katrina had any impact on genetic diversity, and despite the intense efforts to control mosquitoes in New Orleans, Ae. vexans has not undergone a population bottleneck. A bottleneck effect may be lacking because this species breeds outside the city and the adults migrate into the city.

“…It even can be superinfected with different viruses (Kuwata et al 2015). ND4 and ND5 sequences of mosquito mitochondrion can provide evidence of population genetic structure and gene isolation by distance (Gorrochotegui-Escalante et al 2000;Birungi & Munstermann 2002;Szalanski et al 2006;Venkatesan et al 2007). Cytochrome C oxidase I (COI) gene in mosquito mitochondrion is a very important target for identification DNA barcodes (Kumar et al 2007;Wang et al 2012;Ondrejicka et al 2014).…”
