Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aedes aegypti, the principal vector of dengue and other arboviruses, is widely distributed in Pakistan, yet its population genetics and endosymbiont status remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to investigate the genetic structure, haplotype diversity, and phylogeographic patterns of Ae. aegypti in dengue-endemic regions of Pakistan, and to screen for natural Wolbachia infections to provide...
