“…Haplotype 3, the most frequent (44.2%), was not detected at all cities surveyed. This haplotype was absent from Maringá, although Bracco et al (2007) had previously found it there. The cities where haplotype H3 was most frequent were Palotina (100%) and Barra do Jacaré (77.7%).…”

“…aegypti in Paraná. In a previous study, Bracco et al (2007) sequenced the same fragment of the ND4 gene from two specimens from Foz do Iguaçu and three specimens from Maringá. Paduan & Ribolla (2008) employed ten specimens from Londrina.…”

“…The cities where haplotype H3 was most frequent were Palotina (100%) and Barra do Jacaré (77.7%). In a study in the Americas, Bracco et al (2007) found haplotype H3 (named as H17) in Ananindeua (Pará), Presidente Prudente (state of São Paulo) and Rio Branco (state of Acre), and observed that it is exclusive to Brazil, with wide distribution in the country. Paduan & Ribolla (2008) Haplotype 2, contrasting with the others, had only been previously detected in Peru (as H8) (Costa-da-Silva et al 2005).…”

Aedes aegypti, the major vector of dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika viruses, remains of great medical and public health concern. There is little doubt that the ancestral home of the species is Africa. This mosquito invaded the New World 400‐500 years ago and later, Asia. However, little is known about the genetic structure and history of Ae. aegypti across Africa, as well as the possible origin(s) of the New World invasion. Here, we use ~17,000 genome‐wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to characterize a heretofore undocumented complex picture of this mosquito across its ancestral range in Africa. We find signatures of human‐assisted migrations, connectivity across long distances in sylvan populations, and of local admixture between domestic and sylvan populations. Finally, through a phylogenetic analysis combined with the genetic structure analyses, we suggest West Africa and especially Angola as the source of the New World's invasion, a scenario that fits well with the historic record of 16th‐century slave trade between Africa and Americas.

Despite centuries of control efforts, the past three decades have witnessed a dramatic spread of many mosquitoborne diseases worldwide. The acceleration of urbanization, global warming, the intensification of intercontinental trade and travel, the co-evolution and adaptation between pathogens and mosquito vectors, and the development of insecticide resistance, have greatly contributed to the mosquito borne diseases worldwide. This chapter presents the current situation regarding the expansion of mosquito-borne diseases and theirs vectors worldwide, highlighting the factors that have contributed to these dramatic expansions. Furthermore, this chapter addresses the main difficulties encountered for vector control implementation using traditional approaches.

Genetic variability of Aedes aegypti in the Americas using a mitochondrial gene: evidence of multiple introductions

Abstract: To analyze the genetic relatedness and phylogeographic structure of Aedes aegypti, we collected samples from 36 localities throughout the Americas (Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Guatemala, US), three from Africa (Guinea, Senegal, Uganda), and three from Asia (Singapore, Cambodia, Tahiti
