Mitochondrial Markers for Molecular Identification of Aedes Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) Involved in Transmission of Arboviral Disease in West Africa
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Correct classification of the insect vector is central to the study of arboviral disease. A simple molecular method for identification of the main vectors of the mosquito-borne viruses, dengue, yellow fever, and Rift Valley fever in Senegal, West Africa, was developed. We present a system in which the five mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) responsible for the majority of flaviviral disease transmission in...
