The Neovolcanic Axis Is a Barrier to Gene Flow among Aedes aegypti Populations in Mexico That Differ in Vector Competence for Dengue 2 Virus
29 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aedes aegypti is the main mosquito vector of the four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV). Previous population genetic and vector competence studies have demonstrated substantial genetic structure and major differences in the ability to transmit dengue viruses in Ae. aegypti populations in Mexico. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Population genetic studies revealed that the intersection of the Neovolcanic...
