Geographic and temporal genetic patterns of Aedes aegypti populations in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Summary Rio de Janeiro is considered as the most important entry point for dengue viruses in Brazil. Using isoenzyme markers, we investigated the genetic structure of the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti sampled at three‐month intervals in 14 districts in Rio de Janeiro from December 2002 to December 2...
