 | We used two mitochondrial loci (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase subunit 4 and cytochrome oxidase II) and a nuclear locus (28S-D2 spacer) for a total of 1337 bp to evaluate the relationships among the four subspecies of Aedes (Finlaya) japonicus Theobald. Ae. j. japonicm was recently introduced into the United States and has been expanding rapidly. We also included in our analysis a morphologically very closely related species, Aedes (Finlaya) koreicus ... |

| Mosquito collections were carried out in August 2002 and July 2003 in Japan. Anopheles sinensis of the Hyrcanus Group. Myzomyia Series of Anopheles. was the most common species encountered. The distribution and habitats of 5 Anopheles Hyrcanus Group species are included. Eight species belonging to Aedes. Cllle.C. and Uranotal'1lia were found associated with An. sinensis in rice paddies and a variety of other larval habitats. |

| Introduction of potential disease vectors into a new geographic area poses health risks to local human, livestock, and wildlife populations_ It is therefore important to gain understanding of the dynamics of these invasions, in particular its sources, modes of spread after the introduction, and vectorial potential. We studied the population genetics of Aedes (Esnlayu) juponicus juponinrs (Theobald), an Asian mosquito that was recognized for the first time in the United ... |
