Abstract excerpt
In this paper we discuss the potential usefulness of determining the phylogeographic and phylogenetic patterns of a vector for understanding the spread of pathogens or insecticide resistance. We do so using the example of Pulex simulans in Peru. Six populations from six different localities were investigated. Mitochondrial DNA sequences were obtained and branching patterns were inferred using phylogenetic...
