Identification of mosquito bloodmeals using mitochondrial <i>cytochrome oxidase subunit I</i> and <i>cytochrome b</i> gene sequences
21 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
Primer pairs were designed and protocols developed to selectively amplify segments of vertebrate mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) and cytochrome b (Cyt b) mtDNA from the bloodmeals of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae). The protocols use two pairs of nested COI primers and one pair of Cyt b primers to amplify short segments of DNA. Resultant sequences are then compared with sequences in GenBank,...
