  Sequencing and Analysis of the Mitochondrial Genome of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) from the Brazilian Amazon
  Author(s): Sean Nilsen*
  
  Aedes aegypti, commonly known as the yellow fever mosquito, is a primary vector of several arboviruses, including dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever. This mosquito species is of significant public health concern, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. The Brazilian Amazon, with its unique ecological conditions, presents a critical area for studying the genetics of A. aegypti. Understanding the mitochondrial genome of A. aegypti from this region can provide insights into its population structure, evolutionary history, and potential for disease transmission... Read More»
