Geometric morphometrics to differentiate species and explore seasonal variation in three Mansonia species ( Diptera: Culicidae ) in central Thailand and their association with meteorological factors

Abstract excerpt

Mansonia mosquito species are recognised as a significant vector of human pathogens, primarily transmitting the filarial nematode, Brugia malayi. In central Thailand, the three most prevalent Mansonia species are Mansonia annulifera, Mansonia indiana and Mansonia uniformis. This study explored the influence of seasonal changes on the phenotypic variation of these Mansonia species in central Thailand using the...
