AI Article Synopsis
- This study documents an infection of Ascogregarina spp. in Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in Brazil's subtropical region.
- Mosquito larvae were collected and identified from tires in four municipalities in Santa Catarina, using both morphological and molecular techniques.
- The results confirmed the presence of Ascogregarina taiwanensis through PCR, with DNA sequences archived in GenBank, indicating that both mosquito species can carry this pathogen.
Article Abstract
Introduction: This study registers Ascogregarina spp. infection in field populations of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in a subtropical region of Brazil.
Methods: Mosquito larvae collected in tires placed in four municipalities of Santa Catarina were identified morphologically and assessed for Ascogregarina sp. infection using morphological and molecular methods.
Results: Both mosquito species harbored Ascogregarina taiwanensis, whose genomic DNA was confirmed in both the Aedes species by PCR. DNA sequences were deposited in GenBank. Conclusion: Both Ae. albopictus e Ae. aegypti harbor Ascogregarina sp.
