Abstract

Background: The 'snow-melt mosquito' aedes (rusticoidus) refiki is a rare species with a wide distribution in Europe that is usually defined as an aggressive mosquito for mammals, including humans. During a mosquito survey in a peri-urban area in south-central mainland Spain, adult Ae. refiki females were captured and identified by morphological traits. The presence of this species of mosquito has never been molecularly confirmed under continental dry Mediterranean climatic influence with scarce number of days with snow on soil. The aim of this study was to confirm by amplification and sequencing of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region.

Results: We also successfully amplified and typed the species molecularly by COI and ITS2 regions. The peri-urban area where Ae. refiki was found contrasts with the reported cold, humid and snowy environments required by the species to breed.

Conclusions: This finding suggests that the species is already adapted to continental dry Mediterranean environments, questioning whether it is a truly stenotopic species of cold snowy environments.

确认1928年在西班牙中南部干燥的地中海大陆周边城市环境中存在热菲基Medschid伊蚊(乡村伊蚊)。

背景:“融雪蚊”伊蚊(rusticoidus) refiki是一种在欧洲广泛分布的稀有物种，通常被定义为对包括人类在内的哺乳动物具有攻击性的蚊子。在西班牙大陆中南部城郊地区进行的蚊虫调查中，发现成年伊蚊。通过形态特征捕获并鉴定了雌蚊。在大陆干燥的地中海气候影响下，这种蚊子的存在从未在分子上得到证实，而且土壤上的积雪天数很少。本研究的目的是通过线粒体细胞色素c氧化酶亚基I (COI)和内部转录间隔物2 (ITS2)区域的扩增和测序来证实。结果:通过COI区和ITS2区成功扩增并分型。Ae.所在的城郊地区。Refiki被发现与报道的物种繁殖所需的寒冷，潮湿和多雪的环境形成对比。结论:这一发现表明，该物种已经适应了大陆干燥的地中海环境，质疑它是否真的是寒冷的雪环境中的狭窄物种。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
