Article Synopsis
- Aedes albopictus, a highly invasive mosquito species, relies on photoperiodic diapause for survival in challenging conditions, and its role as a dengue virus vector in Guangzhou is significant.
- In laboratory experiments, both yeast powder and food slurry were effective in inducing diapause in over 80% of the mosquitoes, with a critical photoperiod of approximately 12.312 hours of light identified.
- Field studies showed distinct seasonal patterns, with low populations from December to February and diapause incidence linked to specific day lengths, highlighting the importance of light exposure for egg survival during winter in Guangzhou.

Objective: To clone and identify the heat shock factors (HSFs) of and analyze its molecular structure and alternative splicing pattern.
Methods: The New Zealand rabbits were infected with the cercariae of and were killed and dissected 42 days post-infection, and the adult worms of and the livers of the rabbits were harvested. Then, the total RNA was extracted by using Trizol reagent.

Aedes albopictus is an important transmitting vector of a wide range of arboviruses such as Dengue virus and Chikungunya virus. The rapid and aggressive global spread of Aedes albopictus contributes to the rapid expansion of Dengue virus. The diapause of Aedes albopictus provides a crucial ecological basis for its adaptation to a wide range of climatic and geographical conditions.
