Extensive genetic differentiation between homomorphic sex chromosomes in the mosquito vector, <i>Aedes aegypti</i>

2016-06-21

Abstract excerpt

Mechanisms and evolutionary dynamics of sex-determination systems are of particular interest in insect vectors of human pathogens like mosquitoes because novel control strategies aim to convert pathogen-transmitting females into non-biting males, or rely on accurate sexing for the release of sterile males. In Aedes aegypti, the main vector of dengue and Zika viruses, sex determination is governed by a dominant ma...
