Rapid Identification of Aedes albopictus, Aedes scutellaris, and Aedes aegypti Life Stages Using Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction Assays

Abstract excerpt

In 2005, a widespread infestation of Aedes albopictus was discovered in the Torres Strait, the region between northern Australia and New Guinea. To contain this species, an eradication program was implemented in 2006. However, the progress of this program is impeded by the difficulty of morphologically separating Ae. albopictus larvae from the endemic species Aedes scutellaris. In this study, three real-time...
