Abstract

ABSTRACT: Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) has a widespread distribution that includes both temperate and tropical climates. It is a potential vector of several important worldwide arboviruses, including chikungunya, zika, and dengue, and its geographical distribution expands rapidly. Despite its vectorial importance, the bioecological features of this species in newly established environments are still not very well known. Thus, this study investigated phenotypic variations among Ae. albopictus populations from different regions in Turkey. This is the first comparative morphological study of Ae. albopictus populations in Turkey. The procrustes distances phenogram derived from wing data indicates that the shape differences among some populations and the population from the Aegean coast differ from the Black Sea populations. Size differences were also detected between some populations.

土耳其白纹伊蚊(Skuse, 1894)种群翅膀大小和形状的地标几何形态计量学分析

摘要：白纹伊蚊（Skuse，1894）分布广泛，包括温带和热带气候。它是包括基孔肯雅病毒、寨卡病毒和登革热在内的几种重要的世界虫媒病毒的潜在媒介，其地理分布迅速扩大。尽管该物种具有矢量重要性，但其在新建立的环境中的生物生态学特征仍然不太为人所知。因此，本研究调查了土耳其不同地区白纹伊蚊种群的表型变异。这是首次对土耳其白纹伊蚊种群进行比较形态学研究。根据翅膀数据得出的procrustes距离表型图表明，一些种群之间的形状差异以及来自爱琴海海岸的种群与黑海种群不同。在一些种群之间也发现了大小差异。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Vector Ecology is an international journal published by the Society for Vector Ecology. It is concerned with all aspects of the biology, ecology, and control of arthropod and vertebrate vectors and the interrelationships between the vectors and the agents of disease that they transmit. The journal publishes original research articles and scientific notes, as well as comprehensive reviews of vector biology based on presentations at Society meetings. All papers are reviewed by at least two qualified scientists who recommend their suitability for publication. Acceptance of manuscripts is based on their scientific merit and is the final decision of the editor, but these decisions may be appealed to the editorial board. The journal began publishing in 1974 and now publishes on-line only.
