Demographic history, genetic load, and the efficacy of selection in the globally invasive mosquito Aedes aegypti

2026-07-28

Abstract excerpt

<em>Aedes aegypti</em> is the main vector species of yellow fever, dengue, Zika and chikungunya. The species is originally from Africa but has experienced a spectacular expansion in its geographic range to a large swath of the world, the demographic effects of which have remained largely understudied. In this report, we examine whole-genome sequences from 6 countries in Africa, North America, and South America to...
