Fine-scale population genetic structure of a wildlife disease vector: the southern house mosquito on the island of Hawaii.

Molecular ecology - 1 Nov 2006

Keyghobadi Nusha, Lapointe Dennis, Fleischer Robert C, Fonseca Dina M

Abstract excerpt

The southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus, is a widespread tropical and subtropical disease vector. In the Hawaiian Islands, where it was introduced accidentally almost two centuries ago, it is considered the primary vector of avian malaria and pox. Avian malaria in particular has contributed to the extinction and endangerment of Hawaii's native avifauna, and has altered the altitudinal distribution of...
