Geographic origin of the US and Brazilian Aedes albopictus inferred from allozyme analysis.

Heredity - 1 Aug 1991

Kambhampati S, Black W C, Rai K S

Abstract excerpt

A survey of genetic variation using allozymes was conducted on 57 populations of Aedes albopictus, an Asian mosquito that was introduced into the US and Brazil in the mid-1980s. Our objective was to quantify the patterns of genetic variation among its populations and to use that information to trace genetically the geographic origin of the US and Brazilian populations. Populations from the various regions were...
