Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the genetic diversity of the mosquito species Culex annulirostris, a significant arbovirus vector in Australasia, confirming it comprises at least two distinct species based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA analyses.
- Researchers developed 12 microsatellite markers and studied over 500 individuals to assess population genetics across Australia, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Archipelago.
- Findings reveal two main genetically distinct populations of Cx. annulirostris in mainland Australia, with potential admixture in certain regions, highlighting the species' complex population structure and geographical distribution.
