High prevalence and lack of diversity of Wolbachia pipientis in Aedes albopictus populations from Northeast Brazil.
The use of Wolbachia as a tool to control insect vectors has recently been suggested. In this context, studies on the prevalence and diversity of this bacterium in wild populations are relevant. Here, we evaluated the diversity of two Wolbachiagenes (ftsZ and wsp) and the prevalence of this endosymbiont in wild Aedes albopictus. Using semi-nested polymerase chain reaction, our results showed th...
متن کاملWolbachia establishment and invasion in an Aedes aegypti laboratory population.
A proposed strategy to aid in controlling the growing burden of vector-borne disease is population replacement, in which a natural vector population is replaced by a population with a reduced capacity for disease transmission. An important component of such a strategy is the drive system, which serves to spread a desired genotype into the targeted field population. Endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacte...
متن کاملRecent Changes in the Local Distribution of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in South Florida, USA.
Disease transmission is directly tied to the spatial distribution of disease vectors. The distribution of Aedes aegypti (L.) in the United States has diminished since the introduction of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) in the 1980s. However, Ae. aegypti persists in some urban areas, particularly in south Florida. The pattern of habitat segregation of these two species is well documented, but the consi...
متن کاملComparison of Bg-sentinelh Trap and Oviposition Cups for Aedes Aegypti and Aedes Albopictus Surveillance in Jacksonville, Florida, Usa
The BG-SentinelH (BGS) trap and oviposition cups (OCs) have both proven effective in the surveillance of Aedes species. This study aimed to determine which of the 2 traps could best characterize the relative population sizes of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti in an urban section of Jacksonville, FL. Until 1986, Ae. aegypti was considered the dominant container-breeding species in urban north...
