Tracking genetic invasions: Genome‐wide single nucleotide polymorphisms reveal the source of pyrethroid‐resistant Aedes aegypti (yellow fever mosquito) incursions at international ports

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Biological invasions are increasing globally in number and extent despite efforts to restrict their spread. Knowledge of incursion pathways is necessary to prevent new invasions and to design effective biosecurity protocols at source and recipient locations. This study uses genome‐wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to determine the origin of 115 incursive Aedes aegypti (yellow fever mosquito)...
