| microhabitat partitioning of aedes simpsoni (diptera: culicidae). | yellow fever virus is a reemerging infection responsible for widespread, sporadic outbreaks across africa. although aedes aegypti (l.) is the most important vector globally, in east africa, epidemics may be vectored by aedes bromeliae (theobald), a member of the aedes simpsoni (theobald) species complex. the ae. simpsoni complex contains 10 subspecies, of which ae. bromeliae alone has been incriminated as a vector of yellow fever virus. however, morphological markers cannot distinguish ae. brome ... | 0 | 24897852 |
| molecular differentiation of the african yellow fever vector aedes bromeliae (diptera: culicidae) from its sympatric non-vector sister species, aedes lilii. | yellow fever continues to be a problem in sub-saharan africa with repeated epidemics occurring. the mosquito aedes bromeliae is a major vector of yellow fever, but it cannot be readily differentiated from its non-vector zoophilic sister species ae. lilii using morphological characters. genetic differences have been reported between anthropophilic ae. bromeliae and zoophilic ae. lilii and between forest and domestic populations. however, due to the application of different molecular markers and n ... | 2015 | 26641858 |
