Complete mitogenome sequence of Anopheles coustani from São Tomé island
Campos, Melina; Crepeau, Marc; Lee, Yoosook; Gripkey, Hans; Rompão, Herodes; Cornel, Anthony J.; Pinto, João; Lanzaro, Gregory C.We report the first complete mitogenome (Mt) sequence of Anopheles coustani, an understudied malaria vector in Africa. The sequence was extracted from one individual mosquito from São Tomé island. The length of the A. coustani Mt genome was 15,408 bp with 79.3% AT content. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. coustani is most closely related to A. sinensis (93.5% of identity); and 90.1% identical to A. gambia...
Aedes aegypti on Madeira Island (Portugal): genetic variation of a recently int...
Seixas, Gonçalo; Salgueiro, Patrícia; Silva, Ana; Campos, Melina; Spenassatto , Carine; Reyes_Lugo, Matias; Novo, Maria Teresa Lourenço MarquesThe increasing population of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes on Madeira Island (Portugal) resulted in the first autochthonous dengue outbreak, which occurred in October 2012. Our study establishes the first genetic evaluation based on the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genes [cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4)] and knockdown resistance ( kdr ) mutations exploring the colonisation hist...
Seasonal population dynamics and the genetic structure of the mosquito vector A...
Campos, Melina; Spenassatto , Carine; Macoris, Maria; Paduan , Karina; Pinto, João Pedro Soares da Silva; Ribolla, PauloPopulation genetic studies of insect vectors can generate knowledge to improve epidemiological studies focused on the decrease of pathogen transmission. In this study, we used nine SNPs across the Aedes aegypti genome to characterize seasonal population variations of this important dengue vector. Mosquito samples were obtained by ovitraps placed over Botucatu SP from 2005 to 2010. Our data show that, regardless...
