Genetic variations in aedes albopictus (diptera: culicidae) based on ND5 and CO1 markers / Nurul Adilah Amrannudin

Ae. albopictus is an invasive species that has expanded globally raising threats of arboviruses transmission and the re-emergence of dengue endemicity in Malaysia. Dengue transmission dynamics could be influenced by the distribution and genetic variation among vector species. Studies focusing on the...

Description
Summary:Ae. albopictus is an invasive species that has expanded globally raising threats of arboviruses transmission and the re-emergence of dengue endemicity in Malaysia. Dengue transmission dynamics could be influenced by the distribution and genetic variation among vector species. Studies focusing on the genetic diversity of Ae. albopictus in local populations are currently lacking in the Malaysian setting, yet such studies are crucial to enhance the current vector control strategies.
