Opening the Pandora Box: DNA-barcoding evidence limitations of morphology to identify Spanish mosquitoes

2018-06-25

Abstract excerpt

Cryptic speciation is frequent in the medically important mosquitoes. While most findings have been reported in tropical regions, it is an unexplored topic in countries where mosquito-borne diseases are not endemic, like Spain. The occurrence of recent outbreaks in Europe has increased the awareness on the native and invasive mosquito fauna present in the continent. Therefore, the central question of this study is...
