| [first report of aedes albopictus in areas of mata atlantica, recife, pe, brazil]. | this is the first report of the presence of aedes albopictus in the native rain forest, near the urban area of recife (state of pernambuco, brazil). adult female mosquitoes were collected using human bait. mosquitoes in aquatic stages were looked for in treeholes, bamboos, bromeliads and old tires. the existence of ae. albopictus in the metropolitan area of recife poses a potential risk for the interaction of this mosquito species with the urban human population. | 2000 | 10920457 |
| genetic diversity in brazilian populations of aedes albopictus. | random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) analysis technique was undertaken in aedes albopictus populations from three states in brazil, rio de janeiro (rj), minas gerais (mg) and pernambuco (pe), to estimate the level of genetic variability and levels of genetic exchange between populations. allele and genotype frequencies were measured on 47 rapd loci. average observed heterozigosity (ho) ranged from 0.282 in mg to 0.355 in casa forte (pe) population. genetic distances estimates indicated that r ... | 2002 | 12386713 |
