Article Synopsis
- * Its presence was confirmed through molecular-genetic analysis, and larvae were found in an artificial water source alongside other mosquito species.
- * The species successfully overwintered in Almaty during 2018-2019, indicating its ability to adapt to cold temperatures, which raises concerns about its potential spread to other regions, including Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the genetic differences and population structures of two West Nile virus vectors, Culex pipiens pipiens and Cx. p. molestus, to understand their roles in disease transmission.
- Researchers sequenced and analyzed the whole genomes of 40 mosquitoes from Eurasia and North America, revealing two distinct genetic clusters for these subspecies.
- Findings indicate that Cx. p. pipiens and Cx. p. molestus are separate evolutionary entities with unique adaptations, showing significant genomic differentiation and evidence of early ecological speciation.
Article Synopsis
- This study reports the first identification of three Anopheles species—An. kleini, An. pullus, and An. lesteri—in the Primorsk and Khabarovsk regions of Russia.
- The research utilized molecular taxonomic diagnostics and found that the previously thought dominant species, An. sinensis, was not present in these areas.
- Analysis of nucleotide variation in the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) region revealed distinct sequences for each species and led to the construction of a phylogenetic tree grouping the Anopheles hyrcanus members into two monophyletic subgroups.
Morphological study allowed identifying 9 species of mosquitoes of the genus Ochlerotatus and 2 species of the genus Aedes. Sequencing of the rDNA region was performed for all these speciemens. The sequences of rDNA were the following: A.
