Evidence for a population expansion in the West Nile virus vector Culex tarsalis.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 2007

Venkatesan Meera, Westbrook Catherine J, Hauer M Claire, Rasgon Jason L

Abstract excerpt

Population genetic structure of the West Nile Virus vector Culex tarsalis was investigated in 5 states in the western United States using 5 microsatellite loci and a fragment of the mitochondrial reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase 4 (ND4) gene. ND4 sequence analysis revealed a lack of isolation by distance, panmixia across all populations, an excess of rare haplotypes, and a star-like...
