“…Mosquitos from genus Aedes are carriers of human diseases. It was found 21 species from the genus Aedes in Tomsk region (south of Western Siberia, Russia) [1] widely abundant in other countries as well. There are many invasive species in different countries in the world [2,3,4,5].…”

A karyotypic analysis of three mosquito species Aedes excrucians, Ae. behningi and Ae. punctor (Diptera: Culicidae). Differences in the lengths of chromosomes, the distribution of C- and DAPI blocks of heterochromatin, and the localization of rDNA genes on chromosomes were revealed. Aedes excrucians has the largest chromosome length among the three species represented. Ae. punctor differs in the localization of rDNA on the second chromosome, while in Aedes excrucians and Ae. behningi, rDNA genes are located on chromosome 1. All three species have different C-banding and species-specific localization of heterochromatin DAPI blocks. Consequently, chromosome analysis can serve as an additional mechanism for species identification of mosquitoes of the genus Aedes.

In this study, cytogenetic analysis of the metaphase chromosomes from imaginal discs of Aedes (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes—Aedes communis, Ae. punctor, Ae. intrudens, and Ae. rossicus—was performed. The patterns of C-banding and DAPI staining of the heteroсhromatin and the length of the chromosomes demonstrate species specificity. In particular, the Ae. punctor chromosomes are the shortest compared with Ae. communis, Ae. intrudens, and Ae. rossicus, and they also carry additional C and DAPI bands in intercalary regions. The Ae. intrudens chromosomes are the longest, they have pericentromeric C bands, and they almost lack any DAPI bands near the centromere of chromosome 3 versus Ae. communis, which has the largest pericentromeric DAPI blocks in all three chromosome pairs. Ae. rossicus also possesses DAPI bands in the centromeric regions of all chromosomes, but their staining is weaker compared with those of Ae. communis. Therefore, the analysis of karyotypes is a tool for species-level identification of these mosquitoes.

The Ochlerotatus (Oc.) communis complex consist of three Northern American species as well as a common Holarctic mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) Oc. communis (De Geer, 1776). These sister species exhibit important ecological differences and are capable of transmitting various pathogens, but cannot always be differentiated by morphological traits. To investigate the Oc. communis complex in Europe, we compared three molecular markers (COI, ND5 and ITS2) from 54 Estonian mosquitoes as well as two COI marker sequences from Sweden. These sequences were subjected to phylogenetic analysis and screened for Wolbachia Hertig and Wolbach symbionts. Within and between groups, distances were calculated for each marker to better understand the relationships among individuals. Results demonstrate that a group of samples, extracted from adult female mosquitoes matching the morphology of Oc. communis, show a marked difference from the main species when comparing the mitochondrial markers COI and ND5. However, there is no variance between the same specimens when considering the nuclear ITS2. We conclude that Oc. communis encompasses two distinct mitochondrial DNA lineages in the Nordic-Baltic region. Further research is needed to investigate the origin and extent of these genetic differences.
