Phylogenetic analysis of the Neotropical Albitarsis Complex based on mitogenome data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Some of the most important malaria vectors in South America belong to the Albitarsis Complex (Culicidae; Anophelinae; Anopheles). Understanding the origin, nature, and geographical distribution of species diversity in this important complex has important implications for vector incrimination, control, and management, and for modelling future responses to climate change, deforestation, and human population expansion. This study attempts to further explore species diversity and evolutionary history in the Albitarsis Complex by undertaking a characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the mitogenome of all 10 putative taxa in the Albitarsis Complex.

Methods

Mitogenome assembly and annotation allowed for feature comparison among Albitarsis Complex and Anopheles spec
