Molecular markers for analyses of intraspecific genetic diversity in the Asian Tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus

Abstract Background The dramatic worldwide expansion of Aedes albopictus (the Asian tiger mosquito) and its vector competence for numerous arboviruses represent a growing threat to public health security. Molecular markers are crucially needed for tracking the rapid spread of this mosquito and to ob...
