Abstract excerpt
Dengue fever recently reemerged in the Americas. Because vaccines are still under development, dengue prevention depends entirely on vector control. Since Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) is the principal vector of this arbovirus, knowledge of the genetic structure of the insect is therefore required to maintain effective vector control strategies and to estimate levels of gene flow from which movement can be...
