Genetic characterization of < em > Aedes aegypti < /em > (Diptera: Culicidae) in Sri Lanka based on < em > COI < /em > gene

CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that Sri Lanka has undergone multiple invasions of Ae. aegypti from various parts of the world over an extensive period. Further, the mosquito control campaigns had not caused a significant effect on the Ae. aegypti populations which is existing in mutation-drift equilibrium.PMID:34290160 | DOI:10.4103/0972-9062.310871
